The Shimano Baysteel Saltwater Multi-Fishing tool features a 2-step opening tip that keeps the split-ring wider for easier on-and-off use. The new innovative side-stud split-ring opening device works great on heavier gauge split-rings, and the opposite position, used as a release knife, cuts monofilament quicker than ever without even opening the scissors. The Baysteel Muskie/Kingfish tool is a 12" offset long-nose style tool, designed for removing hooks from muskie, kingfish or any other toothy adversary.
