Floating Fishing Tools - XTools CHEAP! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

HatterasCast · 04-10-2012, 01:05 PM

Nope this is not a for sale ad...

Instead, I wanted to inform you guys of a great deal I just came across over at the Sports Chalet in Rancho Cucamonga (15fwy/Foothill Blvd.).

XTools - They're those blue and green floating tools that came out a few years back. They seem pretty decent (especially for using on a yak) and they float! Always wanted a few but never pulled the trigger cause they were a little pricey.

Anyways, the deal I found at Sports Chalet was:

$4.96 EACH!!!

The tools include lanyards, and sheaths too! They have Some large pliers, needle nose types, and spectra cutters.

Thought I'd pass on to you guys a good bargain (IMO).

I wonder if that is for all Sports Chalet
I will check the one here in redlands after work!! thanks for the heads up!

GR6RR · 04-10-2012, 01:11 PM

I wonder if they'll be available at other SC as well

GR6RR · 04-10-2012, 01:12 PM

Yakin · 04-10-2012, 01:13 PM

They were on a CLEARANCE rack in the fishing department so Im sure they're being clearanced at all the stores - Just stock on hand only Im sure.

I bought a pair of their pliers awhile back for that same price. Its not as sturdy to remove hooks out of a fish. And most pliers had gaps when they would be fully closed so it was hard to grip the hook.

All i ever use it for now is for the braid cutters!

gupppy · 04-10-2012, 02:23 PM

they are available for that price at all sports chalets.. i've seen them in 3 different ones.

i just question about how well the jaws close and how well/long the cutters last - some may say, what do you have to lose, it's only $5. i have $5 to lose

I like the hobie ones better.

Yakin · 04-10-2012, 07:14 PM

I we there after work to the one in redlands and they didn't have hardly anything on the clearance rack like 10 things!! they did have the pliers though

Floatable great deal. Thanks for the info.

I use them... I like the braid cutter and I like that they don't stick you too bad when I have them in my pocket on a sport boat. I bought two pair at sport chalet last week.

They are the same at Sports Chalet in Torrance and Long Beach. I saw them recently. Picked up a pair of the pliers. They feel weak but i keep them on my PFD and they are light and out of the way.
