Gamakatsu LE-104-1 Split Ring Pliers – 7.3 in, Silver

Meet the Gamakatsu LE-104-1 Split Ring Pliers, a purpose-built tool for anglers who value precision and reliability. At 7.3 inches, the pliers balance comfortably in hand, delivering steady leverage for quick ring manipulation at the water's edge.
