The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Shark is not a species most freshwater pliers are built to handle, and it takes a sturdier tool to back a hook out of a mouth that size. The Booms BFFPR082TB00 fishing pliers are built with that in mind, a 10-inch stainless steel frame in blue that weighs 0.26 pounds and is listed as a single-piece tool.
At $13.99, the BFFPR082TB00 costs more than the Rapala RCP6 at $11.97 and the Berkley BTSTLP6 at $10.99, but less than the Texas SR-5 at $20.11. Its 4.5-star rating across 836 reviews is a touch below the 4.6-star average shared by the other three pliers in this set, and its 100+ bought last month is the lowest recent demand figure here, trailing the Berkley's 500+ and the Rapala's 200+.
For anglers specifically targeting shark or similarly demanding species, the stainless steel build and shark rating on this listing are the differentiator worth paying for. Buyers focused purely on rating or current sales pace may find better numbers elsewhere in this comparison, but the species-specific build here fills a gap the others do not address.
Pros
- Stainless steel construction built to handle shark, a step up from general fish-rated pliers
- 4.5-star rating across a solid base of 836 reviews
- Priced at $13.99, well under the $20.11 Texas SR-5
- 0.26-pound weight keeps a 10-inch stainless frame manageable
- Single-piece listing with a clear species rating on the box
Cons
- 100+ bought last month is the lowest recent demand figure in this comparison
- 4.5-star rating trails the 4.6-star average of the other three pliers here
- Costs more than the Rapala RCP6 at $11.97 and the Berkley BTSTLP6 at $10.99
- Blue is the only color option listed, with no alternative finish
- Shark-specific rating may be more capability than needed for typical bass or trout trips

Performance notes
Listing shark as a target species sets this pair apart from the bass-and-trout or general fish ratings seen elsewhere in this comparison. That callout, combined with a stainless steel build, points to a jaw and pin strength meant for larger, harder-fighting fish rather than light panfish work. At 0.26 pounds, the plier carries noticeably more heft than a lightweight freshwater tool would, which tracks with a tougher build aimed at bigger species. The 10-inch size gives enough reach to keep hands clear of teeth on a fish that size. Because the listing is a single piece in one color, there is no configuration choice involved, just a straightforward stainless tool sized and rated for heavier-duty use than a typical freshwater pair.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star rating across 836 reviews is respectable but sits just below the 4.6-star average that the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6 both hold. The 100+ bought last month figure is the lowest of the four pliers in this comparison, well under the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and the Rapala RCP6's 200+. That pattern suggests a smaller, more specialized buyer pool, likely anglers specifically after a shark-rated stainless tool rather than a general-purpose pick, rather than a listing struggling to find buyers across the board. The review count is still large enough to be a meaningful sample.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Booms BFFPR082TB00 rated for shark fishing?
Yes, the listing specifies shark as the target species and uses a stainless steel build to match. That sets it apart from general fish-rated pliers or those built around bass and trout, making it a more specialized tool for anglers regularly handling larger, harder-fighting species.
How does the Booms BFFPR082TB00 compare in price?
At $13.99, it costs more than the Rapala RCP6 at $11.97 and the Berkley BTSTLP6 at $10.99, but less than the Texas SR-5 at $20.11. Given its stainless steel build and shark rating, it sits reasonably in the middle of this four-way price comparison.
Why is the bought-last-month figure lower than other fishing pliers?
At 100+ bought last month, this pair trails the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and the Rapala RCP6's 200+. That likely reflects a narrower buyer pool, since a shark-rated stainless plier serves a more specific need than a general bass-and-trout tool, not a sign of a weaker product.
