Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I used to have split ring pliers that had orange rubberized handles on them. They had a thin sharp point for small split rings. I don't remember the brand and can't find them for sale anymore. Does anyone know the name and where I can find them? Thanks.
Quillback Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I bet you are talking about Texas Tackle split ring pliers. They are great for smaller split rings. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Texas_Tackle_Split_Ring_Pliers/descpage-TTSRP.html
Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 Those are not the ones. The split ring point is on top of other side and much thinner and sharper.
dtrs5kprs Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Try the blue handled Xuron pliers. Good down to size 2. I've got a pair in the boat, one in the spare treble box, one in the spinnerbait parts box. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Xuron-Model-496-Split-Ring-Plier-/262171010727?hash=item3d0a9c26a7%3Ag%3AdNYAAOSwBLlVcJfK&_trkparms=pageci%3Ae1ca47db-f6e6-11e6-a19b-005056b676ff%7Cparentrq%3A582fe0f215a0a2abd3ff4a15fff394d1%7Ciid%3A3 merc1997 Bo 1
Longball22 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 If they're the same orange ones I have, I think you can get them in the craft section at Wal-Mart for like $3. They rust easily, but do the trick on small rings. Yep... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Craft-and-Jewelry-Split-Ring-Pliers-5.5/35670440 magicwormman and dan hufferd 2
Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 Those aren't it either. Hook line and sinker used to sell them.
Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 I figured out the brand. Leadmaster. Now I have to find some.
Quillback Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Well I am not going too work to hard to sell you on the Texas tackle ones, but the pics are a bit misleading, the point is fairly thin and sharp. I have used them anytime I replace hooks or split rings on any small cranks, down to Shad Rap 5's.

Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 I googled them and no one has them anymore. It's weird because people rave about them.
