Curved-jaw clamps seem to make everything easier. 

Half-serrated, half-smooth jaws and hook eye cleaner make this a great all-around clamp.

• Precision-Tip Jaws
  •    A unique jaw that combines very fine tips for precise work (like pinching barbs on small flies) along with a beefier base that supports the cutting blades and heavier crimping/smashing at the back of the jaws. Front of jaws are smooth for pinching and back is serrated for better grabbing
• Precision Finger Extension
  •    A valuable addition to all our hemostats, our Precision Finger Extension gives an extra point of contact to help guide your tool with exacting placement and pressure.
• Double-dipped Handles
  •    As the RiverGrip name implies, handles are double coated for maximum grip and comfort
• Surgical-grade Japanese Steel
  •    Considered the best available steel for hand-tools, using the best raw materials will help make every cut, crimp and clamp you make on the stream effectively and efficiently
