How I used: Initially I purchased the Vimov pliers to check out their qualiy. As well as to see how they would hold up to everyday usage. However when I received the pliers I noticed that they are much smaller than a normal pair of fishing pliers at only 5 inches in length. Which in turn limited the scope of their use in my eyes.
Normally I carry two pair of needle nose pliers with me in case I need to remove hooks from fish or anything else. One pair is a simple pair of hemostats and the other is heavier pair of needle nose pliers. The Vimov pliers have taken the place of my smaller hemostats as they are small enough to serve the same purpose with a few extra benefits.
The Vimov pliers are small enough get hooks from deep within the throats of small panfish. While also picking up some extra duties throughout the day. The line cutter sharp and efficient enough to cut braid, mono and flourocarbon with no problems. I didn't have a reason to try out the hook cutter on the pliers but from what i can tell it will do fine cutting light wire hooks but not thicker hooks that you may use for saltwater or bigger catfish.
The split ring pliers works great on the small split rings that standard pliers tend to be too big for. While the split shot closers are perfect for small size 00 split shot used for fly fishing. And what's better? They come in a two pack so I can keep one on me and the other in the kayak as a part of my kayak tool kit.
Overall the Vimov pliers have surpassed my expectations when it comes to functionality and coming in a set of two. However there is one thing I've found to be a problem with the Vimov fishing pliers that is they're fragile based on their design. Most multipurpose fishing piers have one thing in common and that is they all have a triangular shape. As a result most plier manufactures leave no empty space between the fulcrum and tip of the jaws which causes the two sides to rest flush atop of each other when the pliers are closed. This simple design was missed with the vimov fishing pliers leaving a weak spot where the pliers don't meet. As a result if gripped too tightly you'll get stress breaks in this spot. In fact if I squeeze them too tight I can see the metal bend just a bit.
Review: I would definitely recommend the Vimov fishing pliers to anyone who ask. However I would recommend them as a back up tool rather than a primary pair of pliers. This is due to the size which makes them uniquely agile when it comes to unhooking smaller fish but they don't offer the length needed to unhook a deeply hooked larger fish.
The multitool functions of the pliers are awesome giving you one more reason you'd be happy with this pair of pliers on your hip. All of the tools function as needed which will only make fishing easier.
I haven't had any issues with corrosion as of yet so I can not speak to how corrosion resistant they are. However I try to keep all of my fishing tools clean at all times. So I believe they'll hold up great for me under normal usage.
The overall strength of the product is the only aspect of the Vimov pliers that I call into question. So if you do purchase a pair make sure you try not to be too heavy handed with the pliers.
Pros: Corrosion resistant, lightweight, small enough for small hands, multifunction; small enough for removing hooks from the mouths of smaller fish; a good backup pair for larger pliers
Cons: Not very strong can break when used with too much force.
