Crow Horse Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 I'm looking for a quality pair of split ring pliers that will work with #2 split rings (the size used by Megabass). I have a pretty good collection of split ring pliers ranging from cheap to expensive (Walmart to Toit) and the only one that works is one made by Smith and is more like a tweezer. Before I start modifying ones that I have, I was hoping someone might have found a pair that works well. I've searched the site (BR) but no joy. Gami has a micro pair that might have possibilities and Sampo might also. Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted September 25, 2024 Super User Posted September 25, 2024 I use some made by Texas Tackle. I have the small ones with the lemon colored handles. So far they have worked with #2 split rings with no problems. 3 Quote

wvhunt Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 I've used the cheap Strike King KVD ones for various size split rings with good results. Quote

looking45 Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 I use the Gamakatsu micro split ring pliers. I’ve opened hundreds of #1 and #2 splits rings with no problems. Got them from Amazon 1 Quote
BassinBrett Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 I have a pair of Gamakatsu Micro Split Ring Plier that work really well on tiny JDM split rings. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gamakatsu_Micro_Split_Ring_Plier/descpage-GMSRP.html 1 Quote
Crow Horse Posted September 26, 2024 Author Posted September 26, 2024 I pulled the trigger on the yellow Texas Tackle & Gamakatsu pliers. One for my home tackle tool box & one to have out on the water. Thanks for the suggestions! 1 Quote
