All very nice, but my giant fear of owning a pair of fishing pliers over $100 would be the thought of them lying at the bottom of the river/ocean/lake. Since they are aluminum even using a large magnet wouldn't be a solution.
Here's a genuine high-tech "Hook-Out", made with genuine high-tech aluminum. I'll let it go for a mere $150!
I have had the same cheap fishing pliers for 15+ years. They live in the boat and receive no cleaning or oiling. Still going strong. These fancy pliers are no different than expensive o/u shotguns. A Remington 1100 will shoot all the birds and clays you want, but some guys want a $5k+ shotgun. I think anyone on a knife/multi-tool forum can understand that.
when you get a hook in your leg or through your hand will your needle nose pliers cut a 3/0 hook, I think not!
