Good Set of Saltwater Pliers

[66fisher 10]

Can anyone recommend a good set of pliers for the surf. I've tried multiple kinds washed

and oiled after each use and still rusted up to unusable condition.

That's all any pliers will do I did see an alumineum set at gender mnt fore $30.00 but thay wher standard 7" NO GOOD for if you get a shark on I just buy the chepist sets and 3 in 1 oil holds up like you wouldn't beleave thay will rust but with that oil you can get more than a years worth Of use out

Yup, buy cheap ones cause if they don't rust, they'll walk eventually. Regular old needle nosed pliers work fine.

Cheap is the way to go. Just use a good oil to loosen them up when needed.

[66fisher 10]

Thanks for the reply all, I will go with cheap and oil.

Longest pair of needlenose that you can find,i keep them in a ziplock with 3in1 or penn lube,this extends there use and keep a spare .

Need to add 3in1 to my tool and the Zip-bag it is a good idea, Thanks. :-)

I think cororsion-x is better. And you don't need to keep it in your bag. Just make it part of you "clean up" after a trip. Wash, dry and treat rods, wash, dry and lube as needed reels, wash & dry end-tackle (lures, sinkers, swivels etc.) and wash and lube your pliers. This of course after washing your boat and flushing and washing your motor. Then go take a shower and THEN hug your wife.

my favorite and best i have ever bought. Browning fishing pliers, they come with a sheath and cord so they dont walk. they are pricy, but i got em on sale, i have had them for over 3 years now and never once have i oiled them, cutting blade still cuts braid. all i do normally is wipe them off after unhooking a fish.

they are 7 inches, and yes i like some a little longer for sharks, but my small hand gaff or de-hooker works well with sharks....

Those are extremely simeler to the ones at gander mnt

I have these, they stay on the boat. Not a bit of rust on them, and only $10!!

Oh, the Browning pair I have are rusting a little after two seasons.

Ross Pescador and VS pliers are awesome in the surf.
