Thank you for sharing all this info. It has been a great help. I think I'll go with the 125 knipex. Was going to go with comfort grip, but the smallest in that is 140mm and has a bigger tip diameter.
Thanks for the post. I was reading the same thing and am going to order some knipex. Everyone says they're supposed to be the best in the world. They are still made in Germany. Wiha pliers are made in Vietnam now.
I'm heading out to buy a vise and buck tails tomorrow. Doing some research I would prefer not to have to pour my own jig heads. Does anyone have good recommendations for 3/16 and 1/4 ounce jig heads that work well tied with deer hair and come with a quality hook?
