I'm currently using a old style LM Wave as my go to fishing multi tool, I picked it up second hand for cheap with floppy handles, so I'm not concerned with if getting dirty or rusty... Pretty much only the scissors and plain edge blade gets used, the pliers get minimal use. What do other members use when they're fishing?
-
My Surge.
-
Honestly, whatever happens to be on me that day. I keep a set of fishing pliers in the box for when the regular needle-nose can't cut it. But reach for the multitool first.
-
For fresh water I use a Charge.
For salt water I use the combo in the pic.

I'm way too paranoid to take my Surge fishing, once it's dropped in the sea it's probably gone forever. :oops: Although outside opening scissors would be very handy.
-
Lanyard that anchor. This is what I do.

That's a really cool idea Zoidberg! My paracord weaving ability stops with bracelets.
-
Thanks mate. :cheers:
It doesn't need to be flash, a length of paracord with a loop at each end will do the job.
-
Yeah, I guess so. I might watch some YouTube vids and practice some more.
-
What type of fishing...
I live in Florida so I've done almost everything.
Bottom Bouncing, Fly fishing, Kite fishing, Cobia Fishing, Flounder Gigging, Bowfishing, etc.....
I have also pondered this thought.
My skeletool CX as my EDC will undoubtedly make the trip with me.
I wish there were companies out there that would make a very high quality plastic plier. With a knife in the handle.
Like a plastic LM with just a knife....and maybe a file. But that's it.

While I'm here....pictures I enjoy :) (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/12/0c19237a0e4c7f5583b2e6e65c270e95.jpg)

Those are some nice looking fish :tu:
Mostly I fish in the sea from jetties or wharves, using mono on a light weight spin combo. Sometimes I use soft plastic lures, sometimes I use regular bait.
Every now and then I'll fish in a river or lake but those times are few and far between as the sea is closer to home.
I have a $20 LM sidekick with wingman scissors on the way so that will probably be going in the tackle box. I prob won't bother attaching a lanyard to that one cos if it's lost or broken it's really no biggie!
-
Being on jetties I would still use a lanyard!
And I would vote against scissors and towards pliers. I'm not sure what your main catch is but there is nothing worse than digging a stinger out of a kingfish or a Sabiki out of a pinfish without pliers!

The Sidekick still has pliers, just swapped out the wood saw for Outside opening scissors.

Gotcha.
You plan on protecting it with anything? Mineral oil? WD?
-
Probably just some WD 40 but I've heard that it can put off fish when handling bait and such. I wonder if just a light spray after a good wipe down on the MT would be enough to transfer on to the bait though :think:

I wouldn't worry about it. I've heard of people sending bass worms with WD....

I am not known to much fishing multitools. I only know much about the multitools which we can use for everyday carry.
-
My favorite is the Wingman. I like the outside scissors and spring loaded pliers. Of course the fact my wife works for a large retailer (think red, not blue)and told me they had them on closeout a few months back, did not hurt. After the employee discount it cost me $9. At that price I can afford to lose it!
-
My primary fishing tool is my wave, I've used it so much I can easily flick the pliers out with one hand. I also like to use my pstii for fishing and have brought that on a bunch of trips. Knife wise I usually bring my buck x-tract essential or a sak.

Adjusting reels maybe?
I know the bail-less penn 706z reels always need adjusting. They are absolute tanks though, they are loud, ugly, heavy, and simple. But the only maitenece we've ever done was tighten the bail screw and replace the drag washers once every 5 years

I'm bad, all I do is oil slightly :rofl: Though I have had to fully disassemble a few second hand reels to get them straightened out.

Same here. My freshwater reels almost never get oiled. Especially the Shimano Stradics. They are built sealed so I'm not worried about them
The Salsmurfer reels are a WHOLE different ball game. I'd say the drags get done pretty often, but oiling and greasing is a monthly chore. Salsmurfer eats stainless like it's rebar

Just had me a bowl of rebar this morning :D I feel you though, I have a basic Penn Fierce as I don't get out there very much, probably 5 times a year. But you have me ready to go oil it now.
My freshwater is a Shimano Sahara, my first higher quality reel, and I love it.

I've always wanted a Sahara for a travel reel.
All my freshwater spinning reels are the Shimano Stradic CI4+ models.
They are 275 a peice, just way to much to trust everyone when your camping or leaving in a truck bed!
I've never owned a fierce penn either, all the salsmurfer rods are either 550s, spinfisher Vs, or the original 706z and 704s.
Unless we head out on the boat, in which case it's Penn Internationals and Senators

Heck, rounding up 275 for much of anything would be very hard for me, but I spread myself thin with hobbies :D. My bike was the most I've ever spent on myself, fishing is more of my wind-down at the end of the day. Gimme an Ugly Stik and any half decent spinning reel and you won't hear a complaint out of me. Bikes are a different story, unfortunately due to my size and riding style, cheaper parts tend not to live long lives under my command.

That's one thing I've never got into, biking!
For me it's the opposite. I'm always battling myself too.
"I spent 275 bucks on a reel, I can't destroy it"
But on the other hand "it costs so much because it's built to handle abuse"
I guess bikes kinda HAVE to be used though

Sadly they're about my only gear that get's used to their fullest :ahhh I'm already on my third set of wheels since I got it last November!
I'm just glad I didn't spend a ton on my fly setup, I would be a bit miffed by now. Your fishing season also tends to last a bit longer than mine too lol

All year :D
Winter is flounder season, which brings the option of fishing them, gigging them, or Bowfishing them!
Spring hits and the water hits 67° and the Cobia are here. EVERY boat has a ladder or tuna tower on it sight fishing for cobia.
Late spring and the pelagics move in, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, grouper and amberjack follow the baits and red snapper back into shallower water.
Summer time and the bait balks get here and everything goes nuts. All kinds of fish all the time. And that's why we live here.
Late summer and fall are flounder, trout, and Redfish as the bait moves into grass flats.
And winter sends the pelagics further west where they follow the Yucatan, and cross back over to Cuba and Key west Florida.
It's one giant counter clockwise migration that florida gets the best of!

Yeah but there is still plenty of Bikers here as well.
Eglin Air force Base is the largest military base in the nation land mass wise. (Something like that)
And they have trails for hikers and bikers.
The Florida Scenic Nature Trail also runs East and West about 20 minutes north of me...
I've thought about joining some clubs but I think I'd much rather hike. I miss the days of backpacking with scouts.

I never got to be part of the Scouts, it wasn't a big thing around here unfortunately, my version of training was wandering in the woods all summer for ten years of my childhood.....

I never got to be part of the Scouts, it wasn't a big thing around here unfortunately, my version of training was wandering in the woods all summer for ten years of my childhood.....
I believe it's a spike to kill fish?
Correct.

Nice Lanyard Zoidberg. What are the names of the knots you used please. I'd like to try that myself. :salute:
-
Wait, I'm confused. Why does Zoid carry a screwdriver salt fishing?
It is not a screwdriver. ;)
Oh yeah, totally forgot this wasn't a useless ramblings thread... oopssss :D What is it? I can't really make it out on my phone.

I am a lm guy all day long, but for fishing I love the gerber flik fish. The one handed use is perfect and the long pliers really get in tight mouth for deep hooks.
-
If anyone is worried about smufing up an expensive MT there is a cheap "homage" to Gerber (ie copy/sort-of-clone) fishing MT sold with long, flicky needlenose pliers. Most commonly sold with a Winchester label, but I have also seen them with a Renegade label. They look like they are made in the same Chinese factory as the Carolina Tools "Gerber-alike" MT.
Here's some examples (NB no connection with sellers, cannot vouch for them, do your own research etc etc):

That Phillips looks mint! :rofl: thanks for posting though, it really wouldn't be a bad idea to have one like that. Does anyone here have any Carolina tools?
-
Yeah I don't think I'll be buying one of those.
-
Have you thought about a real Gerber? In the past they've done quite a few fishing versions of various MTs. Things like the Flik Fisherman as seen here (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=18621.0), but also fishing versions of the MP600 and MP400. Not sure how easy any of them are to find these days though.

We had used a MP600 on the boat. Not suggested whatsoever. As soon as salsmurfer hit the OHT slides.....she was done....

I think it might be okay if you could soak them in T9 BioShield or Even Corrosion Block.
I'm also kinda picky when fishing...I need needle nose but I need regular pliers as well. Most times, dehooking means twisting the hook, and needle nose don't necissarily provide a good twisting grip.
-
I did look at the gerber flik fisherman variants, I like the look of them but for the price and rarity I can't justify wrecking it in the salt water. My Sidekick with wingman scissors seems to be doing the job pretty well for now.
-
I keep a vic 58mm on my neck lanyard. The scizzors are invaluable for dealing with 6 lb line.
I clean either with an Opinel #8 Stainless or a 91mm Vic Huntsman as the saw is a better descaler than my 91mm Vic fisherman. My fisherman will never touch fish
I remove the hook with long needlenose pilers

Hey mate, really sorry I didn't see your question earlier.
I think the top one is the snake, right is the surgeon's loop or double overhand and down the bottom is the rattlesnake.
The rattlesnake was half done in reverse to house the ends and give clean loops.
-

Thats the stuff you want :tu: Boeshield T-9 metal protectant and lubricant. Been using it on vintage classic fly reels circa 1906-1912, Hardy Bro's lead finish reels with great results.
Jim
Oh yeah, always carry a lm wave and a hemostat when on the river.
-
That stuff is hard to find down here!!
There is one place that carries it and it's 23.99 for one spray can.
And of course; Yamaha Recomends you soak their Waverunner engine in it after every use........
We used to buy it monthly. Until Home Depot started Selling corrosion block in gallon cans

I think the main reason I want an OHT is just so I can hold a fish in one hand; and open anything with the other.

It would be a Pity to see a rare (in Australia anyway) SAK like that get trashed while fishing, all bloody and smelly. But it would indeed be useful! :D

I brought my wave tonight for a quick hour if bank fishing
WORST decision now that I'm used to the OHT.
Holding a fish and opening pliers sucks.
Not to mention my wave is my "beater" tool. The wire cutters grab, you can't really deploy any inner tools without another pry tool, and my main blade gets harder to deploy as it opens. I'm assuming the post is tightening?

You can file off the damaged bit of the wire cutters with I diamond file to stop it from grabbing, have you tried loosening the fasteners a little to get the inner tools and blade to open easier? Or even a bit of 3 in 1 oil..

I haven't but I plan to. I don't blame the tool for its failures, it's definetly the lack of my care for this one tool.
I plan on acid washing it. So I'll have it apart as soon as I can sell my Charge.

Thanks scrappy. :cheers:

in my fishing vest I carry a LM KICK, LM MICRA and a SWISS CHAMP.
-
So. I took my wave today after filing the wire cutter, and loosening/adjusting the tools.
Worked great.
But note to self; when wade fishing in salt water DO NOT submersible the tool. Within submersion and driving back to town there is a noticeable difference in rust.

Yea, I hate rust and in certain conditions it can form before you get home. Good thing is when it forms that quickly it is easily removed if you act quickly. This is why I love to buy a beater tool every once in a while. I do not feel bad using it hard or getting it rusty or beat up because it came to me in that condition. That's just me though. Others might not have a problem with using a new tool like that. It is its intended purpose after all. I'm just weird.

That's what my wave is for :D
If I drop it on concrete? Oh well. If I snap the blade? Oh well. Honestly if it falls off a bridge. Oh well. It's my beater tool which is why I've been carrying it so much!
If the scissors were on the outside it'd be peerrffeecctttttttttt.

Nice work NK! My Sidekick gets a bit rusty every time I'm out on the water, doesn't bother me as it's a second hand beater!
-
I've switched from the Wingman to the Switchplier. Holding a fish in one hand I can easily open the pliers. It needs scissors though. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160126/2b08340ee9e77abab563223f6fc9b6a6.jpg)
-
Swisstool x or spirit x. Spirit has longer needle nose pliers but the Swisstool pliers have never let me down.
I recommend the x version because they have scissors.
The Swisstool's are also very rust proof so they also do well around salt water.
For only fishing a new Swisstool is too expensive. I suggest picking up a second hand example.
All the Swisstool's also have a hole where you can fit a corck screw, you can also put a lanyard through it. Highly recommend when fishing on a boat.

I really missed OHO today while fishing.
Either I need to use my switchplier or I need another LM OHT. Haven't decided.
-
The SP2 did not work out.
Too much time to open the tool and get scissors or a Knife.
The scissors are absolutely terrible at cutting braid too.

SOG makes/made on called the BlackTip. You can still pick them up on Westmarine's website. Seems to be fairly resistant to rust and it has a line cutter. Just don't fall in the water wearing one. This thing is a beast! I'll throw in my Skeletool CX for size comparison.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160319/5965827bf65194057107924c5e39d258.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160319/8a418195e74df609fef0c4af82d19874.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160319/8ba11cb34f7daed6c07cc53a7e4d8efc.jpg)

My try ed and true PST II,needle nose for taking hooks out,scissors for cutting line,diamond file with hook sharpening,and screwdrivers for any work on the reel,and a ruler for telling the biggest lie. :salute:
-
I use a PST II as well (when I get a chance to go fishing) :tu: Except I have swapped the combo blade ( which I am not fond of and don't understand why LM keeps putting them on everything ??? ) for a PE blade :cheers: I have also been known to carry this as my weekend carry MT as well :tu:

Gotta love that diamond file :dd:

I also recommend the Blacktip
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20160311_121304_zpswdwsgsnj.jpg)
Convenient OHO blade. Easy to sharpen, excellent for slicing and degutting fish.
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20160308_151817_zpsb82qvubf.jpg)
Excellent one handed butterfly opening (Knuckles beware!)
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20160311_121446_zpszbiciegu.jpg)
Incredible gripping force with the compound leverage
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20160311_121227_zps01c2gju1.jpg)
Precise, fine and pointy needlenose for detailed work
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20160308_151755_zps55fctnbk.jpg)
Just the perfect tool for the job, IMO. Wire cutter is excellent as well

Hi
My 2c.......
I've done a lot of salsmurfer fishing, for us this is a vehicle-based activity 99% of the time, looking for and moving from spot to spot.
Freshwater fishing consists of:
1. Pontoon or Kayak based artificial lure fishing, 99% fly the last decade.
2. Fly fishing in free stone rapids.
3. Occasional bait fishing for carp.
In all cases I prefer one or two dedicated tools rather than a MT.
