Shore-gathering pliers are the gripping tool for defensive crustaceans (crabs, velvet crabs, edible crabs) that are imprudent to grab bare-handed. Quality pliers grip firmly without crushing the crustacean (essential if you release berried females or undersize subjects), and resist saltwater corrosion to last several seasons.
You will find short rubberised-handle pliers (for prospecting at rock edge, wet grip), long telescopic-handle pliers (for reaching crustaceans deep in crevices), soft-jaw pliers (for no-kill releases), lanyard pliers (overboard-loss safety on a pier), and specific pliers for lobster and crab fishing (reinforced, wider jaws).
