The Orvis Pliers are made in USA, in the same hightech machine shop as their new Mirage reel and Orvis Nippers. The spring-loaded pliers offer a special ergonomic shape that allows for a more comfortable wrist position and a wider arc for removing a hook with a quick flip of the wrist. (Handling time on released fish is critical, and the quicker a hook can be removed, the greater chance a fish has of surviving).

The jaws are precision machined and fitted for a perfect fit, and offer a serrated area for heavy gripping and a flat area for removing smaller flies without damage and for gripping monofilament without scoring it.

The pliers are machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and have Type III anodizing, the same type of corrosion resistance used on high-wear aerospace parts, firearms, and the finest fly reels.

The Orvis Precision Pliers come with a custom US-made leather sheath and coil lanyard. They come in Pewter color and retail for $189. They can be found on Orvis’ website and at Orvis Retail Stores and authorized Orvis tackle dealers.
