Black_Blade Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) I picked up a pair of 8" Berkley fishing pliers at walmart, but would like to keep them in a belt holster rather than searching for them amongst the rubble on the bottom of the canoe. Anyone know of a place that sells these things? Or would you need to find a person that could make you a custom sheath? Would rather one made from leather for it would last longer than them cheap fabric jobs that most knives seem to come in now, for got a perfectly good multi tool knife that sits on my dresser cuz the fabric sheath wore out!

alexcba Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 why not just drill a small hole thru the handle and run a retractable line thru it? the line has a belt clip and if you keep it closer to the back it wont get in the way. just an idea..

jediangler Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I bought mine at KW surplus in Kitchener. It holds my 12" needlenose pliers, my 8" bolt cutters and my jaw spreader. Look at your local hardware store's tool aisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 $.99 bungee clip to my belt loop works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at your local hardware store's tool aisle. Sounds like a good outfit, you have a brand name of it? I have cruised Home Depot but haven't seen something specific for pliers. I recall seeing a fishing video and one of the guys had a sheath that held two different sizes of pliers, but even doing a google search I haven't seen anything like it, making me think it was a custom made unit.

Roy Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 You can lookup Kuny's model PH-38. They're available at Rona and Home Depot. Inexpensive and it should work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter649 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I went to Dollarama & bought a duramax belt holder for a tape measure and a pair of pliers fit fine in it as well as a pair of hemostaps (just slide the pliers/hemostaps through the opening where the tape measure would clip on) works good for 1.25............

Beans Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Try using a good pair of hemostats (forcepts)...Crappieperchhunter and I use them to unhook our carp catches and they will clip on your clothes wherever you choose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow when I'm out fishing. All my gear is in the trunk at the moment. It only cost me $.99 so I bought one for my bro too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 We used to make our own using dive weight belt material. Get the lightest gauge available, fold in half and form a belt loop on the back side. Then cut an end piece and fit it onto the opposite side of the belt loop so it can be used as a keeper strap. Use a little bit of the two sided velcro to make a fastener and sew the whole mess together . Works great and costs peanuts to have sewn. I've even used seat belt material although it's kinda slippery. If anyone's interested I can post some pics of examples. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here is mine. Can't beat the $.99 price tag. It holds the pliers, cutters and you can see the spreader in behind. It came in handy today on Pigeon lake to unhook this puppy. It was 37" long and hit my bucktail right after the thunderstorms started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Blade Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 That would be perfect, Jedi, just have to see if can spot one in town...so far haven't seen anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'll tell you what Black Blade, if you haven't found one in a week or two, send me a PM and I'll pick one up and mail it up to you. I'll be away at the rental cottage until the end of July. When I get back I'll check my PM's. Send me your address and I'll make sure you have it as soon as possible.

I have the same fish finder, do you use the fish symbols part of it or without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't use the fish symbols or the fish alarm. I mainly concentrate on the depth and bottom composition. Having the surface temp is a bonus, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
