Fishing Tools

The Pitbull Tackle Split Ring Pliers are a practical approach to a long sought after tool. Designed with functionality and user comfort in mind, Pitbull Tackle set out to improve the typical design of a split ring plier and give it better functionality.

What sets these pliers apart from the rest is a double lock head design. This feature holds the split ring firmly in place and does not allow it to slip out of the pliers grip. Traditionally a split ring plier when closed will hold the split ring in place, however the split ring can rotate up and down within the pliers grip. The double lock design on the Pitbull Tackle Split Ring Plier grabs and holds split rings in place, keeping them perpendicular to the pliers at all times. This ensures a steady and consistent angle every time, allowing for easier placement or removal of hooks and lures. Once in your hand you can feel the pliers open and lock in the split rings with ease.

Pitbull Tackle also wanted to give the user an improvement on traditional thinner handles and longer bulkier designs. The handle was made thicker, designed to naturally fit into the palm of your hand. Next, a non-slip material was chosen to give the user superb grip, and a bright color choice was chosen to make the pliers easily visible to the user. These pliers are lightweight and can easily fit in your pocket or tool holder, yet are constructed with corrosion resistant stainless steel to give the user both durability and functionality.

Cinching a knot tight with bare hands is one of the fastest ways to cut yourself on the water. The Accurate Knot Puller solves that problem cleanly — it lets you seat your knot with full, even pressure and zero risk of the line slicing into your fingers. Whether you're building a leader topside or re-rigging mid-trip, this is the kind of small tool you notice immediately when you don't have it.

The Line-Cutting Problem

Fluorocarbon and heavy braid don't give. When you pull a knot tight by hand on 50–80 lb line, you're either not cinching it fully — leaving a weaker knot — or you're cutting into your hands. Over a long trip with multiple re-rigs, that adds up. The Accurate Knot Puller gives you a rubber-coated grip surface that the line bites into, letting you apply full pulling force without contact with the line itself.

How It Works

The knot puller is two pieces that screw together for a compact profile that fits in a tackle tray or pocket. It includes a hole at the top for a keyring or lanyard attachment, and a slot that accepts a hook directly — useful for cinching connection knots at the hook end. Both pieces have a black rubber coating that gives the line something to grip during the pull.

The Right Pick If...

• You tie knots with heavier fluorocarbon or braid where bare-hand cinching risks injury
• You re-rig frequently on the water and want a compact, pocketable tool for the job
• You want a clean way to seat Bimini twists, FG knots, uni-to-uni connections, or hook snells consistently
• You're building a gift kit for a serious saltwater angler — this is a tool that gets used every trip

Best Fishing Techniques

• Leader building (fluorocarbon and monofilament)
• FG knot and uni-to-uni connections on braid-to-leader junctions
• Hook snells and Palomar knots
• Any application where you need a fully seated, tight knot on heavy line

Best For

• Offshore and nearshore saltwater anglers rigging with 30–100 lb leaders
• Anglers who tie their own rigs and leaders regularly
• Boat deckhands and guides who re-rig throughout the day
• Anyone who has ever cut their hand cinching a knot and decided not to do it again

Key Features

• Two-piece screw-together design — compact, fits in a pocket or tackle tray
• Black rubber coating on both pieces — grip surface for the line and your hand
• Hook slot — accept a hook directly for cinching connection knots at the hook end
• Keyring hole — attach to a lanyard or tackle bag zipper
• Available in 4" size (3" also available — contact us if you need it)
• Made by Accurate Reels

Tackle Express Tips

• Use both pieces of the knot puller simultaneously for FG knots — one on the braid tag end, one on the leader. You'll get a noticeably tighter, more consistent finish than pulling by hand or with gloves.
• Keep one clipped to your tackle bag zipper on a lanyard. It's the kind of tool you always know where it is until you don't bring it — then you miss it every rig.
• The rubber coating works better dry. If your hands are wet, give the puller a quick wipe before pulling down on heavy fluorocarbon so the line seats cleanly against the grip surface.

FAQ

What sizes does the Accurate Knot Puller come in?
Accurate makes the knot puller in a 3" and 4" version. The 4" is stocked here. If you need the 3" version, contact us and we can check availability.

Can I use this for braid-to-leader connections?
Yes — it works well for any line-to-line or line-to-hook connection where you need to apply pulling tension to seat the knot. The rubber-coated grip surface gives the line traction so you can pull fully without it cutting into your skin.

How do I attach it to my gear so I don't lose it?
There's a hole at the top of the knot puller designed for a keyring or lanyard. Most anglers clip it to a tackle bag, rod holder, or belt loop so it's accessible without digging through a tray mid-trip.
