Product Details and Uses

Sakura Aluminium Pliers 170mm: The Lightweight Multi-Tasking Essential

The Sakura Aluminium Pliers are a premium, ultra-lightweight tool designed for the modern mobile angler. Measuring 170mm, these pliers are constructed from high-grade aluminum to provide an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. They are the ideal choice for those who want a robust, salt-resistant tool that won’t weigh down a technical vest or chest pack.

Engineered with multifunction jaws, these pliers excel at two main tasks: unhooking fish safely and manipulating terminal tackle. The integrated split-ring beak is specifically designed to facilitate the rapid replacement of hooks on lures, while the replaceable tungsten carbide cutting blades offer effortless slicing through the toughest PE braids and heavy fluorocarbon.

Key Performance Features

Tungsten Carbide Precision: The cutting blades are made from ultra-hard tungsten carbide. This allows them to stay sharp far longer than standard steel, providing a clean, “no-fray” cut on 8-strand braids like Sensibraid 8.
Aluminum Weight Savings: By using aluminum instead of traditional steel, Sakura has created a tool that is significantly lighter and more resistant to the corrosive effects of saltwater, provided they are rinsed after use.
Ergonomic Leverage: The handle design is shaped to fit comfortably in the palm, providing maximum grip and leverage when trying to remove a deeply embedded hook or opening a heavy-duty split ring.
Split-Ring Specialist: The precision-machined beak at the tip of the jaws makes opening even small, high-tension split rings a simple task, protecting your fingernails and ensuring your lures are always “tournament ready.”

Ideal Uses

Hook Replacement: The primary tool for swapping out factory trebles for high-quality singles or fresh trebles on your favorite hard baits.
Mobile Lure Fishing: Their 170mm size and light weight make them perfect for “Street Fishing” or hiking along riverbanks where every gram counts.
Saltwater Shore Fishing: An excellent choice for Bass and Pollack anglers; the aluminum construction stands up well to sea spray and humid environments.
Rigging & Maintenance: Use the multifunction jaws for crimping sleeves, tightening knots, or straightening wire traces.

Gerry’s Tip: To keep the action of your aluminum pliers as smooth as the day you bought them, I recommend a quick rinse in fresh water after every saltwater session, followed by a light spray of lubricant on the pivot point. It prevents the build-up of salt crystals and keeps that tungsten cutter performing at its peak
