ABSTRACT:
A pair of cross jaw pliers with handles and jaws pivoted around a pivot pin with a container in each handle, one for storing and dispensing fishhooks and the other for storing and dispensing split shot sinkers. Both handles have a short bowed section joined to a longer hollow tube portion. The short bowed sections compensate for the lack of curvature in the longer tube portions. Each tube portion is closed with a normally closed valve that is adapted to be opened with finger or thumb pressure to gravity-feed the fishhooks and sinkers. The jaws of the pliers are biased open and have a recess for seating and retaining a split shot sinker and crimping it on a fishing line. The jaws also have longitudinal blades for cutting the fishing line.
