New Rapala Tools Improve Performance In Your Gear
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and new Rapala tools and knives are always at the top of the wish list. Whether it’s rigging tackle before sunrise, landing fish at the boat, or cleaning the day’s catch back at camp, every angler knows dependable tools and sharp knives are essential for a successful day on the water.
For anglers who want the best tools in the game to tame their aquatic beasts, Rapala’s new tools give you what you need to handle that biggun when he comes.
There are five new additions in the Rapala tools lineup, including Super Stainless Steel Pliers, 9” Super Stainless Steel Angled Pliers, 7” Precision Forceps, XD Super Line Scissors, and the Angler’s Combo.
Super Stainless Steel Pliers
The Super Stainless Steel Pliers feature a precision internal jaw spring to automatically keep its jaws open, a side cutter purposely made for line and leaders, and a built-in lanyard attachment point. Plus, the robust ergonomic comfort grip handles are safer and more comfortable for your hands.
The Super Stainless Steel Pliers comes in two sizes: 6-½” and 8-½”.
9” Super Stainless Steel Angled Pliers
The unique 90-degree angle of the 9” Super Stainless Steel Angled Pliers has a number of benefits. First, it keeps your hands further from the treble hooks, enhancing safety. Second, it improves sightline by allowing anglers to look right down the barrel of the fish. Last but not least, the Pliers have a grooved nose tip for fast and easy de-hooking. Just like the Stainless Steel Pliers, the precision internal jaw spring automatically keeps its jaws open, and the side cutter is perfect for line and leaders. It also has a built-in lanyard attachment point.
7” Precision Forceps
The 7” Precision Forceps marry a traditional forceps with a plier-style grip to allow for true, convenient one-handed manipulation. It features built-in line scissors, locking handles, robust grip handles, and Stainless Steel construction.
XD Super Line Scissors
The XD Super Line Scissors, made with High-grade Stainless Steel construction, feature a micro-serrated cutting edge designed for braided line and oversized finger holes. The premium design promised 5000 cuts while maintaining its edge, sharpness, and cutability.
Angler’s Combo
The Angler’s Combo is the perfect selection of tools for every angler. The Angler’s Combo features one pair of Super Line Scissors, a 9” Floating Fish Gripper, and a 6-1.2” Angler’s Pliers. Together, these three key tools equip anglers with everything they’ll need on the boat or the dock.
Rapala Fillet Mat
Confronted with anglers yearning for an easy and quick solution for fish guts and extra skin, the Fillet Mat came to life. This innovative mat allows for premium mobility and convenience for filleting fish. The raised ribs grip fish when filleting, skinning, or descaling. The no-slip bottom stays in place on most surfaces, so the back of your truck, wooden porch, or sturdy counter are all safe. It’s made from durable PVC, an easy-to-clean and dishwasher-safe material. It also rolls up for convenient storage.
The Fillet Mat comes in one size: 24” x 14”.
6” Fish ‘N Fillet in Firetiger
The Original Fish ‘N Fillet got hit with a little fire this year. Continuing with the original features – a progressively tapered, full-tang blade of European stainless steel that takes and holds an ultra-sharp edge, and a birch handle with fine tooled leather sheath – anglers can now pick up this mighty knife in the color Firetiger.
The Fish ‘N Fillet includes a single-stage sharpener to maintain its razor-sharp edge.
The handle length of the Fish ‘N Fillet in Firetiger is 4-¾” and the blade length is 6”.
