Picking up a pike is not always easy, especially if the hook is baited or holding the fish's mouth closed. This step becomes child's play with HPA's Pike Pliers.

Pike Pliers

HPA's Pike Pliers are long-nosed pliers that allow you to grab something hard to reach, such as a hook, where hands won't fit. The pliers are lighter than they look, and easily manoeuvrable to extract hooks lodged in the mouths of small and large pike. All the while keeping your hands safe.

Pike Pliers are lightweight.

Its 30-centimetre length allows it to keep its distance from fish teeth.

Generally speaking, it allows you to keep your distance from any danger, such as unhooking a ray while staying away from its sting, or a hook stuck in the bottom of a backpack.

These pliers are just as useful for everyday use on pike as they are on trips to any continent where you may go fishing. In fact, apart from pike, it is very useful for unhooking all fish with sharp teeth such as barracudas, payaras, sharks, tiger fish, snakeheads, piranhas and many others.

It's made from marine-grade stainless steel, which protects it from the oxidation that salt and repeated contact with water can cause. The fit between the two moving parts is perfect, with no play in the pivot.

The orange handles provide good visibility for the pliers, making them easy to spot if you forget them in the grass or drop them in the water.

Storage cases

You can buy the pliers on their own or with their storage case. I recommend the holster version, as it's sturdy, can be worn on a belt, and reduces the risk of losing the pliers.
