Anyone use bent nose pliers?  I've always used straight pliers, but am thinking about buying some bent nose.  Just wondering.

....I have one with a wire cutter too (good to have if you get a hook buried in you) Great tool to have :smt045 I also had a forceps that were also bent nose and had scissors on it (for fresh water) Can't seem to find any these days  :smt011

*nice thing about the bent nose is that you have a better view of the hook as you pull 'em out off the fish. Ideal for shark and bat ray fishing.

Gotta love tools that have more than one function (I'm a big multi tool fan)

I've always used bent nose (with cutter), after losing a couple good ones I started buying cheap ones, so of course I haven't lost one in years, I'm not sure if the cheapies could cut a substantial hook though.
