What is a all in one good purpose length for bass pliers. I’m looking at three sizes 6inches 7.5 inches and 8inches.

7 1/2" needle nose with side cutter.

PS, after looking at Catts reply I measured my pliers and it was 7 1/2" not 6"
Janderson45 reply :
I have the Cuda 9” pistol grip “titanium coated” stainless steel pliers. Had them for one full season, and love them. No signs of rust or corrosion so far. Great feel and angles/distance to deal with any toothy critters. Fairly expensive, but I use my pliers almost every time I go out, especially when using treble hook baits.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I have some aluminum H2O pliers with titanium side cutters from Academy, I believe they're 7" pliers. They've been really nice and I really like that they don't get hot when the sun is beating down on them like I thought they might. The cutters cut any kind of line with ease too. My only complaint is the tip of the pliers isn't overly thin, so it can be difficult to remove the hook from a smaller fish if it's deeply hooked.
tcbass reply :
I have the downward angled Rapala 6” I think.
I like the angle a lot. Relieves stress on the wrist when removing hooks.
fin reply :
I keep a pair of 2" needlenose in my pocket and a pair of 8" hemostats in my backpack. I walk the banks, so that is the lowest weight, smallest space option I could come up with. I can't recommend those tiny needlenose enough, they are awesome. Not easy to find though.
I’m probably the only person that uses such small needlenose, but I tell ya, there’s something about them that makes them perfect. For one, when you have a fish in one hand and your rod in the other, it’s nice to be able to reach in your pocket rather than dig around for them. Longer needlenose sometimes tend to have weak pressure at the tip. These are so short, that’s not a problem. Being able to get your hand right next to the hook instead of several inches away makes a big difference too. The only thing they aren’t good for is getting down the throat on smaller fish, so that’s why I have the hemostats, but it’s very rare that I need them. 99% of the time I need pliers, it’s because I’m hooked into the tough part of the mouth, not because it’s down their throat.
Fishes in trees reply :
I used to lose needle nose pliers in my boat, they were never where I wanted them to be when I wanted them. Solved. the problem by having half a dozen pairs. Most of them are the 6" to 8" size. Before I launch the boat, I get the pliers strewn around the boat - couple of pairs up front, pair on the console, pair on the back deck, pair on top of the junk bin so at least I know where to start looking when I need them. My favorite pair, an 11" stainless steel model, completely broke in, with a very narrow tip, is currently on vacation. It is lurking somewhere in my fishing shed, underneath something, waiting to be discovered again.

I agree Catt. Channelocks are great tools. I have some that my dad owned from at least 50yrs ago. Still workin
BassWhole! reply :
I loose or rust out pliers on a regular basis, I have around 6 of the Wally World $1.97 ones in the house at any given time. I think they are 5" or 6", but I've never measured them. On the bike stand, I use the Channel Lock needle nose and dykes. They are precision made and hold up better than most. Oh, and the Pedro's cable cutters is way better than the Park ones.
Derek1 reply :
6” husky needle nose with side cutter from Home Depot in the back pocket. Work great and don’t care if I loose them. They cut braid better then the braid cutters I’ve tried. I mostly use my knife to cut tag ends though.
Catt reply :
I keep 2 pairs of pliers in my boat at all times.

Got the same 9 inch Kleins in my boat just for cutting hooks if I get a hook stuck in me.
MN Fisher reply :
I have two sizes - 5" 'Electronics' needle nose for most of my de-hooking.
Then for deep, gut-hooked fish, a pair of Irwin Vise-Grip 13.25" Compound long reach - lets me de-hook even a fair-sized northern that's swallowed the lure.

Throw in a pair of Channellock®, a Crescent Wrench, duck tape, stainless steel wire, screwdrivers & I can fix anything!

You forgot the hammer - or as an old friend of mine called it 'the carburetor adjuster'.

I know about "old school" shade tree stuff.

He didn't forget hammer, that what the end of the Crescent is for.

KastKing just released a Speed Demon Pro Plier in 7"and 9" with a straight nose or split ring nose.
GreenPig reply :
I've had these Browning aluminum needle nose for 6 or 7 years and they're good. I always carry true compound cutter in case a hook needs to be cut after pushing it thru a hand, arm, cheek, etc.

gilkeybr reply :
I like to have a set of curved locking hemostats, 6" or 8" depending on the size/type of fish. Much lower profile for getting them in a fishes mouth and not negatively impacting your vision of what you're working on!

I have their cut-throat split ring pliers which are basically the same pliers as the Pro, without the golf grip. They are pretty sturdy and come with a great sheath. The only issue I have with them is they are quite pointy. The tip has speared my hand or side on a few occasions. That's why I prefer my blunt tip Ozark Trail pliers better.

Yea what are you using to staple off the wire ???? or nail off the boxes lol . Hammer is Definitely a tool an electrician uses. Unless you're going to say said electrician only uses the remodel boxes with the anchors. But you said wire a house... Which is done after the framing. Regardless, should be stapling off the wire along those runs.
As for the pliers. I have many sets but tend to just use my Leatherman.

Don't know where you live but we haven't "stapled" wire in years!

That would be used in commercial buildings around here but not in residential. Yeah we still staple wire.
Yeajray231 reply :
I suppose this is a topic for another thread. That's conduit, we use it in residential anywhere the wire is exposed such as a basement wall or outside the home or when the line is buried. . Ohio is where I live... And have to staple off all the runs along the joists , trusses, studs .. whatever the case may be pretty sure you should still "strap" or "clamp" that conduit off catt ????

All new house construction gets that type wiring down south. Commercial, Industrial, & Residential construction is booming down if anyone looking to relocate.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
Any pliers that I can grab from my tool box, but lately just me, a bag of plastic a few 4/0 ewg hook and cheap multi tool with sharp knife.
DogBone_384 reply :
I use Manley brand fishing pliers. They're 7 1/2" long, made from anodized aluminum, and have a side cutter built in that cut braid nicely.
I think they look better the more you use them.
I also keep a curved hemostat and bone cutting pliers in my bag for gut hooked fish, and hooked people, respectively.
