Nomad Hydra-X Split Ring Pliers 7.25"

Built for serious offshore anglers who want fast hook changes, clean line cuts, and total control when the bite is on.

The Nomad Hydra-X 7.25" Split Ring Pliers are a premium rigging tool designed for anglers who demand precision, strength, and reliability in harsh saltwater environments. Whether you’re swapping trebles on stickbaits, upgrading jig assist hooks, or tuning your lure setup before a session, these pliers make the job faster, cleaner, and safer.

At the core is a CNC-machined stainless steel locking system that keeps everything perfectly aligned, delivering smooth operation and accurate split ring control without flex or slop. Built-in tungsten carbide cutters slice cleanly through braid and mono, making quick re-ties and tag-end trims effortless on the boat, rocks, or beach.

Finished with a PTFE Teflon-coated body and jaws for corrosion resistance, and fitted with MAX GRIP+ handles for confident use in wet hands, the 7.25" size hits the sweet spot between compact handling and real leverage. Supplied with a holster and lanyard, it’s ready for full-time deck use, kayak fishing, or travel tackle kits.
