"I love the color combos, and the number adjustments that allow you to weight pounds and ounces, and register them on the tag, so that when you have a couple of 'squeeker' close fish to cull, having your weights pre entered makes it a snap. Push the button on the side before registering your weight on the tag."
"However, the weight dials on the balls do not rotate very smoothly and the numbers do not seem to line up very straight so that the weight will be clear to a user."
"You can weigh your fish on a digital scale and roll numbers on the colored ball for the matching weight of each fish and have a pretty good idea of what weight your bringing to the tournament scales."
"easy for culling the bass."
"Awesome, just put the clip through the lip, weigh the fish, set the weight and throw it in the live well!"
"Bought these for hubby, He love's these dial system instead having to write the weights."
"These things fell apart in my live well."

"Now, if I need to replace line on the stream, I can do so without having to leave the stream to find a sporting good store so they can re-spool my spin reel."
"Having built several line spoolers, a rigid axel threaded at either end, with cone washes for bearings and washers for tightening line spool is far more effective and much cheaper."
"You simply clamp your reel on, tie the line to your line spool, and for a casting reel you simply straight feed the line onto your spool in a matter of about two minutes. For spinning reels, you simply loosen the top screw of the line spooler and as you crank your reel handle, the line holder rotates in the same direction as your reel is turning."
"I love this product, there is not much to it, but as simple as it is it helps me spool my reels so much faster and easier than before."
"For the price, you can't go wrong with this line spooler and should give years of service."
"It quickly spools all types of reels. I did not know what the spooling sindals were for, and just put the spools directly onto the arms."
"Easy to use and it does an awesome job of keeping the line tight and it spools the reel just as it comes off of the spool."

"Similar gaff at our local sporting goods is priced over $40 and doesn't have a strap or even a cover for the hook."
"Works great for grabbing crab pot buoys out of the water."
"well built and sticks the fish when needed."
"Only thing is that you might want to sharpen the point of the gaff."
"Used and it was unable to penetrate anywhere on a king fish."
"The "stainless" hook has rusted to the point that it looks like it will not be able to withstand a large fish....if I ever can catch one!"
"I bought this Gaff in the first place because of the telescoping handle."

"Love that these pliers come with the hook so you can attach it to whatever you want."
"I own surgical grade stainless steel scissors, and the same magnet does not stick to those."
"They have pretty big lips so I'm not sure it would work well for the monsters."
"I like the pliers and the lanyard to help not losing them into the lake."
"Bottom line- these are not stainless steel or they are such poor quality that the stainless steel rusted after the first use."
"These pliers are too small for a typical adult male's hands."
"As others have noted, these pliers are so cheap that comparing them to more expensive pliers becomes an unfair comparison, but there is a time when cheap is too cheap, and these hit that mark. The colored plastic grips measure exactly 3" long, and that is way too small for my average sized male hands; I can only get 3 of my 4 fingers on the grip and the pointy butt end of the other grip lands midway down the meaty base of my thumb -- not pleasant to use at all whilst sitting at my desk, never mind whilst actually using them with some force."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"You'll notice in the video that I attached the clip to the net and split ring to the vest, which is the reverse of what is shown in the product picture."
"Magnetism, man...what a trip."
"I tested it with a huge Beckman musky landing net, and it's strong enough to carry the net, though the net is bigger than one would ever want to carry on a quick release."
"I had to glue the magnet into the housing on one of the sides."
"I used this to catch 4 nice trout on my fishing trip last week."
"When I am going through the brush or willows, the net wants to hook up. Connection to the net takes extra hardware."
"It collects all kinds of seaweed, leaves, sticks, etc, and ends up dragging my back pack down to the point it becomes irritating and I have to stop to empty the net. Pulling out the worn out leash and attaching a eye bolt to the base of the net makes this product work like a charm. It provides an easy way to stow your net and still have it at a moments notice when you're ready to land your fish. The provided leash is great to make sure that the net is always attached to your back pack or whatever you decide to connect it to (in case of magnet failure,I don't see this happening... or a snag). But this is easily solved by going to the hardware store and picking up a quality carabiner."
"When you bring them close together—SNAP—they grab each other and you let go of your net and it's now hanging on your back out of the way. The net can get hung on a branch, after you walk away and the coiled return cord get pulled tight, it can release and the net smacks you in the back or in the head."
