KastKing SteelStream 8pc Fishing Tool Kit - Fishing Pliers with Lanyard, Fillet Knife, Floating Fish Lip Gripper, Fishing Braid Scissors, Tool Retractor, Fishing Hook Remover, Bungee Cords

There are quite a few items for the cost in this kit. It comes in a thin cardboard box with a thin non-recyclable plastic tray. I’d much rather see all paper packaging. Several of the items were displaced inside the box during transit but nothing was damaged. The orange is great for visibility after you set things down in the grass.The itemsThe filet knife is large. Nice flexibility and an edge that’s ready to work. The blade is about 7.5 inches as is the cutting edge. The handle is ergonomic, with great contouring. The orange part is rubber. It fills my large hand completely. I like how breathable the sheath is and retention is right. You can push up on the latching tab to release it easily and it pops in with a snap when you close it. The sheath does rattle on the blade but not terribly.The hook grabber seems like the part that will probably break, but maybe it will surprise me. A little sloppy with the thin plastic moving part and the metal pin, but the metal tube is non magnetic, probably aluminum. The function is fine and design seems like it will work as intended.The fish lip grabber works like a pair of vice grips. All ABS plastic feeling, but feels solid and has a satisfying snap on open or close. A high point for the kit, and a clever design with an interlocking fin to keep the jaws aligned.The quick bungee straps are simple, but the elastic and plastic feel solid and I expect they will last a long time. The design of needing to slip the choke down to secure the ball means they take two hands to operate, but the release tab is nice.The pliers are quite stiff and they are not spring loaded. The design of the jaws is good and alignment is great. Cutters came sharp. I like that there a little taper at the nose instead of it being flat. Also like that they have the snap ring tooth at the end. The handle is the same orange rubber found elsewhere in the kit. I’d say they’re a little on the small side handle wise, but that means they are light and don’t take up a ton of space.The rubber handle scissors are interesting. Small and comfortable. The steel from the scissor blades runs into the straight inside part of the handle only but they seem very secure. I couldn’t get them to move on the handles at all. The snap cover for them can go on either way and has a nice snap retention. I wouldn’t have minded seeing extra ventiliation in the sheath but that could be added. There’s also a loop at the tip for attachment.The retractable line works okay and is about 3 feet long. The clip at the end is a little hard to operate, but that means it’s going to stay closed securely with the spring tension. It doesn’t have a lock to keep it extended if you wanted to have the line stay out on its own.

wish i had bought this first. for the price every item is very good. The knife is sharp enough to filet. pliers are quality as well. Hook disgorger was a needed item as i release fish often and try to not harm them. the grippers open wide and they are preferred over putting your thumb into a toothy fish. pleased with this purchase. good value for the price.

This is a great set of tools. It has just about everything you’ll need and it is great quality and price. Kast King continues to impress!

Great quality would highly recommend

This includes pretty much anything that you would need for a day on the water. The lip grippers are plenty strong, knife came sharp, and the pliers are well built. I’d recommend picking this up if you need a bunch of tools for the pack or boat!

Quality and design is amazing. I’ve used it in saltwater a few times and is still has not rusted. Just make sure the clean every time with fresh water if used just like every metal tool. Knife and scissors are super sharp and it all fits in perfectly with the kast king fishing bag. Forshure a great value for your money. The grip is great in your hand and works well without being to heavy.

This is a really handy and well made kit. I just love the little scissors, they will really come in handy fishing. All the gear is good quality for the value of it. I own another Kastking filet knife and I love it so I am glad this kit came with one as well.

Good quality. Makes a great gift.
