Fly Fishing Tools Curved Stainless Steel 8” Fishing Hemostats Forceps

A fly fishing forceps (also called a fishing hemostat forceps ) is a small, clamp-like tool anglers use to grasp hooks, pinch barbs, and remove hooks from fish mouths. They often include serrated jaws and a locking mechanism to hold a hook securely. These tools speed up hook removal and reduce harm to fish and hands.

RTI’s forceps are made from stainless steel and come in an 8″ length. They feature a curved tip for better access into the fish mouth and two locking positions for controlled clamping. The handle is PVC-dipped for a secure grip. These forceps are offered in blister card packing and are available for OEM and wholesale orders.

Advantages of the 8″ Curved Fly Fishing Forceps

• Premium Stainless Steel Strength: Forged from high-quality stainless steel, these forceps resist rust, bending, and breakage. The material ensures long service life even under repeated use.
• Curved Design with Skid-Proof Stripes: The curved jaws slide easily into a fish’s mouth. Added serration stripes give stronger clamping pressure, keeping hooks steady during removal.
• Reliable Multi-Locking Mechanism: The jaws feature three to four interlocking teeth. This system allows users to adjust the clamping force securely with one hand.
• Non-Slip PVC Handle: Handles are dipped in PVC for a sure grip, even when wet. This improves control and reduces hand fatigue in boat or river conditions.
• Available in Multiple Lengths: RTI offers sizes from 6″ to 9″. Buyers can select the exact length to match different fishing applications and target species.

Fishing Forceps Manufacturing process

1. Product design & specification: Engineers finalize drawing files for the curved tip, locking teeth, and handle profile. BOM and tolerance specs are set.
2. Material Selection: RTI uses 420 and 3Cr13 stainless steel, both proven for corrosion resistance and strength in freshwater and saltwater. This ensures the jaws remain durable and reliable over time.
3. Blanking and Forging: Steel sheets are stamped and forged under high-tonnage presses. This step provides consistent shape and strength as the base of each forceps.
4. Heat Treatment: Forged parts are heat-treated to reach hardness around HRC 48–52. This prevents bending and keeps the jaws aligned after repeated use.
5. CNC Machining and Tip Finishing: The jaws are machined for precise alignment and grip. Fine serrations are added so the forceps can hold hooks and lines securely without slipping.
6. Handle Forming and Surface Treatment: Handles are shaped for ergonomic comfort. Depending on the model, they may include rubber coatings or polished finishes to improve grip and corrosion resistance.
7. Assembly: Two halves of the forceps are joined and adjusted so the locking ratchet works smoothly. Each tool is checked for alignment and ease of operation.
8. Quality Inspection: Finished products go through salt spray testing, grip strength checks, and repeated open-close cycles to confirm durability before packaging.
9. Packaging & Shipping: Products are packed in blister cards or custom packaging. Bulk palletization follows customer shipping terms.
