Berkley TEC Hookout Combo

LocJaw Mouth Spreader & Deep Reach Pliers

Hookout Combo combines two powerful fishing tools into a single purchase, at a value. This hookout combo set satisfies two needs that every skilled angler has: to dehook toothy fish as safely as possible, and perform common tasks as easily as possible. The LokJaw Mouth Spreader securely holds toothy jaws open for easy hook removal, with minimum stress on your catch. The DeepReach long nose pliers are extra long and self-locking to give you a secure grip on deep hooks.

 

DeepReach Pliers, the world’s first locking long nose jaws, are built with oversized components and dual-density SofTorx ergonomic locking handles; the result is tremendous torque, dexterity and control for easy hook removal.  DeepReach Pliers are engineered with TecTanium construction to withstand saltwater corrosion.

 

The molded and padded, self-locking handle design of LocJaw Mouth Spreaders makes one-hand use comfortable and efficient. LocJaw Mouth Spreaders are treated with anti-corrosion materials for use in freshwater or saltwater. TEC LocJaws are ergonomically designed and are equipped with a coiled lanyard, with Velcro strap to secure to your wrist or your boat.

 

The LocJaw Mouth Spreader is a great tool to have on board when big pike, musky and walleye have choked on a lure.

Berkley TEC Hook and Wire Cutter

Introduces Comfort and Power in One Wire Cutter

TEC Hook and Wire Cutters are made with TecTanium steel, which prevents saltwater corrosion. TEC Hook and Wire Cutter is standard with TEC Sheath and wrist lanyard.
