Overview

Clamps are designed for a myriad of tasks like crushing barbs, removing hooks from fish (or yourself!), opening/closing split shot, knot-tying, cutting tippet, etc. Knowing what tasks you regularly perform stream-side will help you select the clamp(s) that best suit your angling needs. Clamps tend to be a very personal item, and like a favorite rod or reel, people have preferences for their clamps. Some anglers like short clamps and others prefer long. Some like straight jaws while others prefer curved. Many like the gold loops/handles and others prefer the stealth-mode black. So, if you lose your buddy's 5” curved black clamp, don’t assume the 4” gold loop straight model you gave him off your vest will clear the air.

CLAMP SIZING

Match the clamp to the size of the flies you're using. Generally, the shorter the clamp the smaller and lighter the jaws, and the longer the clamp the larger and heavier the jaws. A 4-inch clamp will struggle crushing a barb on a #4 streamer and a 6-inch clamp will be too large for removing a #22 midge cluster from a fish.

METAL

All clamps are made from 410 Japanese stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 42.

Dr. Slick Offset Nippers: Nippers are one of the most heavily used and critical tools for your vest or bag. Designed for snipping tippet tag ends, clipping off flies, cutting leader material, cleaning hook eyes, sharpening hooks, or tying nail knots, these nippers are the workhorses of the fishing world. All nippers are 2” and have super sharp blades, an industrial strength hook eye cleaning pin, and a built-in hook file. Knot-tying models have an easy-to-use nail knot tube attached.

Pin-On-Reels: All three of our pin-on reels feature a tough steel cord with a 20-inch draw and a heavy duty pin. Best suited for light accessories like nippers, files, and floatant.

Dr. Slick Scissor Clamps: The most versatile series we make and able to handle all streamside tasks. Serrated scissor for cutting tippet/leader material, trimming flies or performing streamside surgery, no joke..we have dozens of stories (and unfortunately some photos) from angling MD’s and non-doctors who have used these clamps to sew up lacerated anglers or remove hooks from every imaginable place on the human body. We also added a straight edge screwdriver for streamside reel and boat repair or in my case re-attaching a license plate. This is the closest item we make to a multi-tool.
