Recently purchased these forceps for general use on the local streams where I live. I’m always pleased with the quality of materials and workmanship in the tools I purchase from Loon outdoors. The problem I have with the classic forceps is that they function perfectly if you use them onstream with your right hand to open and close the jaws. I happen to be left handed and they are quite difficult to use comfortably in the left hand with fish, net or other task in the right hand. Try it out...
Careful filing of the teeth helps the ease of use and still retains 100% closure.
Still a great product...
