ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose fishing tool, to be used to perform numerous, often encountered tasks, while fishing, the tool including primarily a pliers having a pair of arms pivotally attached to one another at corresponding central portions, and a pair of opposing clamp heads, one of the clamp heads including a cutting blade protruding from a top surface thereof. The clamp heads each further include an outer face, an inner face having a gripping surface, and a pair of opposite side faces. A punch seat protrudes from a side face of a bottom one of the clamp heads, and includes a vertical bore extending therethrough disposed such that a punch cone, extending downwardly from a corresponding side face of the upper clamp head, will pass into the vertical bore when the clamp heads are drawn together to a closed, clamping position, thereby causing the eyelet of a fishing hook positioned on an upper supporting surface of the punch seat to be enlarged. Additionally, a first shearing block and a second shearing block protrude from corresponding side faces of the top and bottom clamp heads and are disposed such that when the clamp heads are drawn together to the closed position, a bottom shearing edge of the first shearing block and a corresponding top shearing edge of the second shearing block pass in close, shearing relation to one another so as to cause a segment of wire extending therebetween to be effectively cut by the shearing blocks.
