Umpqua Rivergrip PS Scissor Forceps 6 in Curved - Red

On the river, control matters, and the Umpqua Rivergrip PS Scissor Forceps deliver it with a purposeful curved design. This 6-inch tool is built to handle fly-fishing tasks with confidence, allowing you to trim tippet, cut line, or free a snagged fly without fumbling in the current. The curved jaws reach around branchy rigs and tight corners where straight tools struggle.

Comfort is a key part of the design. An oversized finger loop helps you keep a steady grip even in wet gloves, while the jaws fuse precision with lateral stability. The jaws are half-serrated and half-smooth, giving you a secure hold when manipulating delicate material and a clean release when you need to move quickly.

Hardware meets optics: as part of the Rivergrip Precision Series, this clamp balances rugged durability with smooth operation. The precision-tip jaw and fingerextension translate subtle hand movements into accurate results, whether you’re trimming, crimping, or guiding a knot.
