Drop em in waist deep water who is bending over to pick them up? They’ll be rusted shut before that get back to the surface. You can get a pair of them aluminum ones that look like fishing pliers with a sheath and a lanyard for 15 bucks. 5 trips and it’s even money.

But that was the point. At $3, I'm not getting wet picking them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a recent episode called How Uncle Jame Broke Jeopardy. It is about 30 minutes and pretty good. He interviews former champs about how James plays and his prowess with the buzzer etc. and James comes on for a bit to discuss his strategy and the random way he bets the final numbers and the meaning behind them. I liked it. You can get it right on the NPR Planet Money website no special apps needed. I didn't listen to this, but i suspect that he rings in after each answer right away regardless of whether the light bulb goes off in his head...because he's knows that he will know the question to every answer. And he starts with the higher valued answers first because obviously it increases his chances for getting the DD. Combine that with teh fact that he knows the questions to 99.9% of the answers his scores are always high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the Muslims were riding bicycles, wearing Grundens, and one of them robbed a 7-11, and cops asked ,who did it ?? They can say the Muslims wearing grundens. I know someone else wulda been thinking " I wish the door would accidentaly fly open" especially if it were a bunch of Hasidics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a cheap pair for years... with a wrapped cord handle. Last year I dropped them or loaned them and didn't get them back or something... whatever, they are gone. They (the old gone ones and the new ones) are small and light... barely even notice them in the bag. Don't want to drag around some clunky $300 pair of VS with their leather and phone cord to unhook the one bass of the week that took a jig too deep to just push out with your finger. Even if I was the sort to drop $300 on pliers which I most certainly am not. And besides, pliers are boring.

Fly By Nite Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I don't ever carry pliers around. I've got dykes that i use to trim knots or cut a treble if needed. And a razor blade to trim braid. In the unlikely event a fish swallows a jig i'll use dykes but the stuff i use is so big i can always push it out. Occasional Sparky plug use in which case if i get one i'm using my fingers. Got a pair of Abels somewhere in the garage or some plug bag with the telephone cord cable that resurfaces every few years, probably can't cut through over cooked pasta by now so they're useless to me.
