Loon Iconic Tool Kit

While many bigger brands only dabble in the accessory market, Loon Outdoors is exclusively dedicated to making better tools and accessories—and that dedication shows. This nipper and forceps combo is a prime example of why we turn to Loon time and time again: the nippers are sharp and bite through leader like a barracuda through fine tippet (plus, they have a built-in bottle opener). The forceps handle has a handy built-in carabiner, a coarse, secure-when-wet grip, and a versatile clamping design that can nip through line, crimp a barbed hook, and remove a reluctant fly. The included lanyard is incredibly durable—it looks like it’s more tuned for rock climbing than fly fishing—and after losing and breaking countless subpar accessories, durability gets us hyped.
