Bubba Blade 8.5in Pistol Grip Fishing Pliers - Ti-Nitride Jaws BB1085970

The fight is over, the fish is boatside, and the hook is set deep. Your muscles are burning, your hands are wet, and you know the real battle isn’t with the fish anymore—it’s with your gear. Standard pliers slip, twist, and fail to give you the angle you need when every second counts. That’s exactly why the Bubba Blade 8.5in Pistol Grip Fishing Pliers were created—to give anglers an advantage when control and precision matter most. These pliers don’t just help you land a fish; they help you finish the job with confidence and efficiency, every time.

At the heart of the Bubba Pistol Grip Pliers is their revolutionary handle design. The offset pistol grip allows you to work at angles traditional pliers simply can’t manage, offering a direct line of sight and superior leverage for deeply set hooks. Combined with Bubba’s patented no-slip grip in their signature red textured handle, you’ll always have a rock-solid hold, even in the slickest saltwater conditions. The spring-loaded operation makes one-handed use effortless, freeing your other hand to maintain control of your catch without compromise.

Built for the toughest environments, these pliers are forged with Ti-Nitride-bonded high-carbon stainless steel jaws, giving you maximum strength and long-lasting corrosion resistance against harsh saltwater exposure. At 8.5 inches with a 12-inch overall reach, the long nose allows you to work safely inside the mouth of powerful game fish, while the carbide line cutters make quick work of braid, mono, and fluorocarbon. A built-in crimper adds even more versatility, ensuring you can build leaders or repair rigs on the fly without digging for another tool.

The Bubba Blade 8.5in Pistol Grip Fishing Pliers don’t just stand out for their functionality—they’re made to be your most trusted tool on the water. Whether you’re chasing tarpon inshore, battling offshore pelagics, or unhooking freshwater predators, these pliers deliver the power and reliability serious anglers demand. Every detail is designed with purpose, right down to the included custom-fit nylon sheath with belt loop and coiled lanyard, keeping your pliers secure and within reach no matter the conditions.

When the moment comes and you need a tool you can count on, these pliers rise above the rest. Don’t settle for frustration on the water. Elevate your gear, gain control, and make every fight end on your terms.
