Tweezers

Tweezers are versatile tools for anglers, offering a precise, secure grip, especially for small operations such as adjusting forehands, setting hairlines, fixing lines or bait. These compact, handy tools come in handy in situations where fingers are no longer available or a more delicate movement is required.

Tweezers are available with straight or curved heads in different lengths. The fine-tipped models are ideal for gripping small beads, stopper rings and thin lines, while the wider, stronger versions are suitable for handling larger hooks or harder-to-reach lures. Several models are made from stainless steel to withstand waterfront conditions.

Nevis tweezers feature an ergonomic handle, precise fit and are designed for long life. They make it easy to attach a bait sponge, adjust the length of a hairline, or quickly retrieve a hook from a bag when both hands are busy.

What type of fishing should you use tweezers for?
Practically any type of fishing line. Whether you're using a feeder, match, buoy or float technique, it's useful when you need to handle small items quickly and accurately.

What is the difference between curved and straight head tweezers?
The curved version gives better access in tight spaces (e.g. boxes, between fittings), while the straight-headed tweezers are more general purpose.

Are they really indispensable or just a convenience?
They greatly improve the speed and accuracy of fishing - they can be particularly indispensable in cold weather or for fine mechanical tasks.

Do the tweezers rust when used on the water?
Stainless steel models such as Reiva 's can withstand moisture well, but it's a good idea to wipe them dry after use to prolong their life.

TackleBait has a range of tweezers to choose from - whether it's a classic metal tweezer, a precision slim version or a more robust tool with a rubberised grip. A small but useful tool that makes waterfront tasks easier - and always good to have in your bag.
