I'm looking for a sub $100 multitool for fishing with needlenose pliers. Gerber no longer makes the flik fisherman, the hook sharpener and braid cutters would have been nice. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would suggest doing a search on fishing multitool or fishing multi tool. I just tried it quickly and it looked like numerous results popped up, but I didn't pay close attention to them.

How about trying eBay?

I have on both accounts. Flik fishing tool runs over 100 on ebay and most tool suggestions are either discontinued or are not angling specific.

Leatherman Surge...  I have had mine for since it came out, maybe 10 years ago.  Works great for everything except cutting braid. The scissors are razor sharp but tend to fray braided line.  I have better luck with kid scissors. 

 

 

I don't know why some stuff has trouble with braid. I just bought a pair of Shimano split ring pliers that are basically needlenose. They are brand new and can't cut braid for the life of them but this super junk pair of needlenose I have been using for like 4 years that all rusted cut right though it.

I LOVE my LEATHERMAN!

I always go light and my multitool lets me do just that!

I have a gerber multi with needle nose pliers. My line cutter however is a boomerang

The gerber works good for most things and was like 50 bucks. I also carry a couple screw drivers and a select socket set for any boat issues

Oddly enough i have a leatherman in my snowmobile lol

My Leatherman Wave has held up for a while, and the knives come razor sharp. I cut braid with it just fine. The belt pouch is a very handy addition as well.
