Wholesale 6.3” Stainless Steel Saltwater Fishing Pliers 200g Split Ring Pliers

Saltwater fishing pliers are multi-function hand tools designed for saltwater angling. They open split rings, remove hooks, cut braided and PE lines, crimp sleeves and help with terminal work on boats and shore. Saltwater models use corrosion-resistant metals and replaceable cutters to survive harsh marine conditions.

RTI’s 6.3″ stainless steel pliers combine a split-ring L-jaw, a replaceable tungsten cutter, and an interlocking nose for secure hold. They weigh ~200g and measure 160×58×10 mm. Spring-loaded handles and an ergonomic stainless body make one-hand use easier.

Product Specifications

6.3” Saltwater Fishing Pliers Product Details

• Split-Ring Tool: Built into the nose, the L-shaped jaw opens split rings cleanly. It helps change hooks or swap treble hooks without damaging lures.
• Tungsten Steel Blade: A replaceable tungsten cutter sits recessed in the jaw for cutting PE/ braided line and mono. Blade design keeps fingers safe during cutting.
• Stainless Steel Body: One-piece stainless construction resists corrosion and stands up to saltwater exposure when rinsed and dried after use.
• Lanyard Hole: Integrated lanyard hole helps secure the tool to a sheath, life vest, or belt to prevent loss on a boat.
• Interlocking Nose & Crimp Groove: Interlocking teeth at the tip hold hooks and lines firmly. A rear groove supports crimping sleeves and sinker crimps.
• Spring-Loaded Handles: Internal spring returns the handles for quick one-hand operation and faster terminal work.

Advantages of 6.3” Stainless Steel Fishing Pliers

• L-shaped jaw: The specially designed L-shaped jaw easily opens luresplit rings and can also function as a hook remover, withits rounded arc structure protecting hooks from damage.
• Cut PE Fishing Line Easily: Built-in tungsten steel blade easily cuts PE fishing line,and can be replaced when worn.
• Spring Loaded: The spring keeps the handles open for easy one-hand use, improving efficiency when changing lures or removing hooks.
• Stainless steel Handle: Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the handle is ergonomic and comfortable to hold, reducing fatigue during long use.
• Interlocking Teeth: The front is interlockina teeth for secure line retention,while the rear groove makes it easy to crimping sleevesand sinkers.

Saltwater Fishing Pliers Manufacturing process

Design & Specification: 

Each plier starts from a detailed CAD design that defines the L-shaped jaw angle, cutter placement, and handle geometry. The jaw gap tolerance is typically kept within ±0.05 mm to ensure smooth split-ring operation and accurate crimping.

Material Sourcing: 

Marine-grade 420 stainless steel is sourced from certified mills for corrosion resistance and strength. Tungsten steel cutter inserts and stainless rivets are purchased from approved suppliers to ensure hardness consistency (HRC 58–60 for cutters).

Blanking & Forging: 

Plier blanks are stamped or hot-forged depending on the production batch. Forged jaws provide higher tensile strength and better impact resistance for heavy-duty saltwater use.

CNC Machining: 

Critical surfaces — including the jaw tip, cutter slot, and interlocking teeth — are CNC-machined to exact tolerances. This step ensures precise alignment for smooth cutting and gripping performance.

Heat Treatment & Hardening: 

Cutter and jaw zones undergo controlled heat treatment to improve edge retention and surface hardness. The process balances flexibility with strength to prevent brittle fractures during load.

Surface Finishing: 

The stainless parts are polished and passivated to remove surface impurities, then optionally treated with a protective anti-corrosion coating. This enhances saltwater resistance and extends service life.

Handle Assembly: 

Handles are finished for ergonomic comfort and anti-slip performance. For this stainless version, edges are rounded and brushed to a 240-grit finish, then assembled with a stainless leaf spring for reliable one-hand operation.

Final Assembly:

 Each plier is fitted with the tungsten cutter, spring, and rivets. The cutter alignment and handle tension are manually checked to guarantee consistent action and cutting precision.

Quality Control & Testing: 

QC staff inspect every batch for dimensional accuracy, smooth jaw movement, and surface finish. Random units undergo functional tests including split-ring opening (≤1 mm gap), PE line cutting, and 48-hour salt spray tests for corrosion verification.

Packaging & Labeling: 

Products are packed according to order requirements — retail blister, color box, or custom bulk packaging for OEM clients. Each package includes product labeling and optional barcode printing.

Logistics & Shipping:

After final inspection, goods are palletized and shipped according to client terms (FOB, CIF, or EXW). Export documentation includes HS code, packing list, and quality certificates upon request.
