Forceps recommendations?
Just realised my forceps are no longer in my tackle box, presumably rusting away on some beach somewhere. So I need some new ones.
Can anyone recommend a decent pair? I had the 6 inch Mustad before, which I was not that keen on.

Hmm, difficult one. I was inclined to opt for 10" so I didn't run out of forcep on a deep-hooked fish, but I can imagine they could be awkward when the extra length is not needed. (Wish I hadn't lost the others - no idea when it happened even.)
What about the kind you find advertised everywhere - the medical sort. Are they robust enough for sea fishing, crushing barbs and the like?
