ARSENAL FISHING CORP NEKO-WACKY TUBE PLIER

The Arsenal Neko-Wacky Tube Plier is a specialized rigging tool designed to solve the two biggest frustrations of finesse fishing: the time spent "fumbling" with tiny O-rings and the high cost of losing soft plastics after a single fish. By utilizing a "reverse-action" compression system, this tool makes applying silicone tube shields to worms and sticks nearly instantaneous.

Key Performance Features

• Reverse-Action Compression: Unlike standard pliers, these are designed to open when the handles are squeezed. This expansion allows you to slide a silicone tube shield over the prongs, insert your soft plastic (like a Senko or finesse worm), and release the handle to perfectly seat the shield in seconds.
• Compatibility with Silicone Tube Shields: While it works with various brands, it is specifically engineered to work in tandem with Arsenal Stealth Silicone Tube Shields. These shields provide a much wider surface area than a standard O-ring, significantly reducing the chances of your bait tearing during a violent strike or a long cast.
• Increased Bait Longevity: By using the pliers to apply a shield, the hook is passed through the silicone rather than directly through the fragile salt-impregnated plastic. This allows you to catch multiple fish on a single bait, potentially saving a significant amount of money over a season.
• Rubber-Dipped Grips: The handles are finished with a high-friction rubber coating. This ensures you maintain a solid grip even when your hands are covered in water, fish slime, or attractant scents.
• Precision Finesse Tool: The slim profile of the prongs allows for the rigging of even the thinnest "trick" worms or "finesse" sticks without stretching or damaging the delicate plastic body.
