Excellent value! Great tools, great price! January 15, 2008

Clippers: While most fisherman simply use a standard nail clipper the Rapala takes this idea one step further with the multi-functional clipper/tuning tool. The Rapala clipper is finished in black and the blades are actually flat making it easier to cut lines. The clipper has n enlarged thumb grip so working the pliers with gloves is not an issue. What impressed us further was the inclusion of a line pick to help work out those nasty bird nests on bait casting reels and a multifunctional blade. The clipper also has slots for fine tuning crankbaits (just like athe pliers).
Pliers: The Rapala pliers are nice and feel like a much more expensive set of pliers with the soft grip and added value features. The side of the pliers features three slots for tuning cranks, but we found using the traditional pliers teeth was still easiest for fine tuning. The cutter is sharp and able to even cut through 20lb braided steel saltwater leader with no problem. The splitshot crimp is a welcome improvement over standard pliers and it is now easier to get split shots tight on the line quickly. Most impressive of all is the fact Rapala coats the entire pliers with Nickel so it is much more able to resist rusting.
Hook Sharpener: The Rapala hook sharpener is actually a aluminum oxide stone put into a pocketknife format. It is easy to use and small enough to stow away in any tckle bag. It was able to sharpen my hooks in 3 to 4 strokes.
Conclusion: The Rapala Sportsman Combo is a great value for what you get. With the exception of the jig buster (which is cool, but easily replaceable). The tools are a great foundation for any Angler that wants tools to help tune tackle before and during fishing. These are practical tools at a affordable price and like Rapala states "not just repackaged hardware tools, every tool is designed for specific tasks." So many added value features and good construction for such a low price make this a set definitely worth considering,
