I want to use these for kayak fishing (removing hooks from fish and cutting lines). Will this do the job and will they rust if it gets wet?

I don't know about removing hooks from fish, I use the pliers to remove the snap rings from lures, swimbaits ect.

I bought these for use in south Fla salt water. They're stainless with plastic grips. They seem rust-free, but it's only been a few months. Rinse with fresh water if you can to prevent surface pitting. Line cutting is no problem. They might be a little short for removing swallowed hooks on larger fish. Tip of pliers is notched for split ring manipulation, but teeth further along will grab hooks. Nice lanyard. Good luck. Hope this post is not too late.

My brother was basically gutting fish when the would swallow the hook and since I've bought these they have saved several bass. I'm not sure what kind of fish your fishing for... I had mine all thew last season and there wasn't a spot of rust on them.

The spring rust soon and then the pliers are useless . I only fish salt water and rinse with salt away each time. Mine did not last 6 months . I guess if you are a fresh water guy they would be good.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

This model is a light duty spinning reel. It is meant for small game fish like bluegills, crappie, small bass or trout. I don't know how well it would stand up to salt water use. My guess is that since it is a modestly priced reel, the internal parts are not brass or stainless steel which would resist corrosion. I don't know how large corbina are so I can't say if this reel is adequate. I would consider a reel specifically made for saltwater use.

The best kayak holders I have ever owned. Mine however are in my garage. Living at the beach I can say almost everything rust except stainless steel. These do have a very good paint job and with good maintence should work. Bill

These are "best you can buy" quality and I've not had any problem with them rusting. With normal care of washing, drying, and storing in the provided block, you should have any trouble with rusting or discoloring.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

Clean pretty easily with an SOS pad. They are not non-stick per se, but not much really sticks to them. Had mine for 2 seasons of camping and haven't had any issues with Rust.

You can use this item to catch and store water. However, you will have to dump out the water frequently if you don't want to risk the iron banding rusting.

Yes they will rust.. But they still work great even being rusted. If you could put some type of spray on it that didn't have a odor that would help prevent the rust.

I have used it in salt water, and yes it does rust. It also prevents the top part from unscrewing so I have to buy a new one. Not waterproof.

That is exactly the reason I purchased them..no rust but they are extremely hard to get apart. Probably about half ended up crumbling to pieces when we pried apart. The ones that I am using on the shower curtain work great.

They cut copper and tinned copper wire like a hot knife through butter. I'm sure they'd be just fine for something like fishing line.

I have used this product for my gun safe,to keep them from rusting also have one in that rood.I have never had a problem and the do an excellent job very little if any return of moisture when you renew them. Not one spot of rust on my guns.Hope this gives you more confidence they are a great product.

I used them around 9 months ago and they don't show any sign of corrosion, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. The best of them is they have a self drilling tip and a square head, so your power screwdriver do not slip, also you can place the screw on the tip of your screwdriver and it will hold it, and you do the job very fast, their design is the best. I have tried similar designs. They are relatively thin, just check how much load they will bear.

These will rust if left too long in water, but the directions that come with the set tell you to not do that. My bad, but even the it was a tiny bit and done away with but using a scrub pad, rinse and dry.

I guess you could use it to get things out of a fish tank. I never really thought about it. It might last for a bit if you dry it after using it. The metal appears to be coated but being submerged in water is not it's intended use and it will rust eventually.

I always launch from the bay or inlet when I fish. I launch other times from the beach so I know what you mean by very wet. I am not sure it would hold up to that kind of use/abuse. There are some more open connections like the battery that I would be concerned with. It is a good unit and I am sure there is a way to make it more water/ wave proof. It depends on your yak.
