Gerber Gear Freehander

In most cases, the adventure angler fights against the current in a river, drifts in a kayak, or clings to the side of a boat. These tasks are rarely performed on solid ground or with two free hands - from this reality, the FreeHander was born. The inspiration was simple: to give the angler a hand while cutting and securing the line on the go. Gerber has taken the familiar design of the line pliers and evolved it, focusing on the problem areas that anglers face. The FreeHander is not just a pair of pliers, but a tool that can manage line or bait changes in real time. The brilliance of this design is the SuperVise Tech, a pivoting holding clip that securely grips the line during bait changes. No more flailing line or bait falling into the water, but an easy-to-use line tensioner that acts like an extra hand. The pivoting line cutter includes a holding point that allows the angler to swivel the tool in any direction to access tight spots with minimal effort. Bad weather for anglers means icy temperatures and wet conditions can be the norm. What is not the norm is an upgrade that the FreeHander offers: a wide paddle design for maximum contact between angler and tool. The result is a thoughtful surface that meets the need for control when working with small baits, thin line, and unpredictable conditions. Gerber tools are designed for long-lasting use. To ensure optimal performance, rinse your tool with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a clean towel. Regularly oil the hinges and moving parts.
