Hatch Tempest 2 Pliers
Product information "Hatch Tempest 2 Pliers"
The Hatch Tempest 2 Plier is the tool to choose when you need more power, precision, and control on the water. Larger than the Nomad 2, it is built for rigging big flies, handling heavy hooks, and dealing with toothy predators. If you want close contact with the fish and appreciate uncompromising, top-class tools, you’ll love this plier.
It offers three major advantages over many other pliers: First, the tungsten carbide cutters in a side-cut position allow you to cleanly and reliably cut monofilament, braided line, or wire leaders. Second, the grooved jaws hold knot tags securely in place so nothing slips while rigging. And third, the I-beam arms made from 6061-T6 aluminum with Type II anodizing – lightweight, extremely rigid, and corrosion resistant. The special surface finish further ensures excellent grip, even with wet hands.
Its size and features make the Tempest 2 ideal for fishing large streamers, poppers, or other big flies, or when targeting toothy fish in both fresh and saltwater. At the same time, it remains compact and easy to transport, ready at hand in your tackle bag or on the boat. The plier weighs about 226 g, measures approximately 20.3 cm in length, and about 8.9 cm in width.
Hatch also didn’t skimp on the included accessories: the Tempest 2 comes with a bungee lanyard to keep it securely attached to your bag or belt, as well as a durable sheath for safe transport.
In short: the Hatch Tempest 2 Plier is a robust, well-thought-out tool for anglers who value performance, durability, and safe handling. Perfect for those who target big fish, fish large flies, or simply want maximum reliability when rigging and landing. For us, it’s the best plier on the market and a long-lasting investment for countless fishing adventures.
