RIVER GRIP TOOLS PRECISION SERIES ULTRA MITTEN SCISSOR CLAMP 5.5

Don’t let freezing temperatures stop you from rigging up. The RiverGrip PS Ultra Mitten Clamp 5.5" is engineered specifically for cold-weather fly fishing, featuring a specialized fingerless operation that allows you to easily open, close, and lock the clamp with numb hands or heavy gloves. Forged from premium surgical-grade Japanese steel, it delivers ultimate durability and razor-sharp performance on the water. The innovative hybrid jaws feature a smooth, ultra-fine precision tip for crushing barbs on tiny flies, backed by a rugged, serrated base with built-in cutting blades for heavy-duty crimping. Finished with an extended finger rest for surgical placement and double-dipped handles for an unyielding, comfortable grip, this is the ultimate utility tool for serious all-season anglers.

Wyoming Tailwind & Winter Tactic: Winter and early spring fly fishing on Wyoming tailwaters like the Miracle Mile or Grey Reef means facing freezing winds and sub-zero wind chills. Standard hemostats force you to expose your hands to the elements, but this mitten clamp allows you to keep thick windproof gloves on while safely unhooking fish or crimping split shot. The double-dipped handles act as a thermal barrier, preventing the freezing Japanese steel from sap-drawing warmth from your hands when the tool gets wet.
