Rapala 11" Long Reach Pliers

The Rapala 11" Long Reach Pliers are a favorite tool among anglers who need extra reach and leverage when handling fish, removing hooks, or cutting line. These pliers are built tough for both freshwater and saltwater use.

Key Features

• Length: 11 inches overall – provides excellent reach for deep-hooked fish or working around boat gunnels
• Jaws: Extra-long, narrow jaws with a strong, precise tip for deep hook removal
• Material: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction
• Handles: Co-molded soft-touch grips for comfort and non-slip control (even when wet)
• Cutters: Built-in side cutters strong enough for mono, fluoro, and light wire/steel leaders
• Finish: Matte black or silver (varies by model) with Rapala branding
• Additional: Spring-loaded jaws for easy one-handed operation

Best Uses

• Deep hook removal (especially pike, muskie, catfish, or bass with treble hooks)
• Handling toothy fish (pike, muskie, barracuda, bluefish)
• Cutting leaders, wire, or heavy mono/fluoro
• Crimp crimping sleeves on leaders
• General boat, kayak, or shore fishing tasks where extra reach is helpful

Why Anglers Love Them

• The 11" length gives significantly better reach than standard 6–8" pliers
• Strong enough for big fish and heavy hooks, yet precise at the tip
• Comfortable, non-slip grips even with gloves or wet hands
• Durable stainless steel holds up in freshwater and light saltwater
• Great value – reliable performance without the high-end price tag

The Rapala 11" Long Reach Pliers are a staple in many tackle boxes, especially for muskie, pike, catfish, and larger bass anglers who regularly deal with deep-hooked fish or need extra leverage. They’re also popular on boats and kayaks where you want to keep hands farther from sharp teeth or treble hooks.

A solid, no-nonsense tool that does the job year after year.
