Forceps Essential Tool

Forceps are essentially fly fishing pliers and they have several uses on the water. First, you can use them to hold small flies as you're tying them onto your hook so you don't drop it on the ground.


its also have an eye cleaner in case you have glue stuck through the eye of the hook. The primary use of your forceps is to move the hook from the mouth of the fish.
