As far as fishing gear goes, pliers aren't new to the scene. The tool itself isn't groundbreaking and it wouldn't be a stretch to think that fishing pliers had peaked. Gerber looked at the tool with fresh eyes and realized that the greatest opportunity lied in the ergonomics - power and control could be optimized with simple adjustments to the design of the fishing pliers.With Bearhand Control, the Magniplier positively engages with your hand for a solid, confident grip. Bearhand Control is an ergonomic control system comprised of three design elements that translate the power of the hand into power you can utilize in the tool. First, the space between the handles is purposeful - it is optimized to engage where the hand is strongest for maximum force. Second, an oversized finger choil is integrated as another place to rest the forefinger providing added stability. Last, the nose of pliers is off axis for improved line of sight and control when removing the hook from a fish's mouth.
