The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A lot of anglers lose or misplace a plier at some point, dropped over the gunwale or left in a different tackle bag, which is why a two-piece set can make more sense than buying one plier twice. The Booms BFFTR0567K20 Fishing Pliers come as a black 2-piece set for $7.99, sitting below the $10.99 Berkley BTSTLP6, the $11.97 Rapala RCP6, and the $20.11 Texas SR-5, all of which are sold as single units in this comparison.
At a 4.4 star average across 537 reviews, the Booms pliers land in the same rating tier as the Berkley BTSTLP6, though with fewer total reviews than the Berkley's 848. It edges out the review volume of the Texas SR-5 (396) while trailing the Rapala RCP6 (544) and Berkley BTSTLP6 (848). Bought last month sits at 100 or more, which is lower than the Rapala's 200 or more and well behind the Berkley's 500 or more.
The only specs listed for this set are color, black, and piece count, two. That is thinner documentation than the material and weight details given for the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6, so buyers who care about jaw material or overall weight will need to look elsewhere for that information. For anglers who just want a backup pair on hand at a low price per tool, the two-for-one structure at $7.99 works out to under $4 per plier.

Performance notes
Selling this as a 2-piece black set changes the math compared to buying a single plier. At $7.99 for two, each tool works out to under $4, which is closer to a spare-in-the-tackle-bag price point than a primary tool investment. The listing does not include material, weight, or jaw length specs, so it is not possible to compare cutting or gripping performance directly against the stainless steel Texas SR-5 or the 0.3 pound Rapala RCP6 on paper. What the 2-piece format does suggest is redundancy, one plier for the boat and one for the truck, or a spare to hand off to a fishing partner. At 4.4 stars across 537 reviews, the pattern points to a tool that handles basic line cutting and hook removal without standing out as either exceptional or a common source of complaints.
What buyers say
At 4.4 stars across 537 reviews, the Booms BFFTR0567K20 sits in the same rating tier as the Berkley BTSTLP6, both a notch below the 4.6 star Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6. Its review count is higher than the Texas SR-5's 396, but lower than the Rapala RCP6's 544 and the Berkley's 848. Bought last month of 100 or more is the lowest figure among the four pliers in this comparison, trailing the Rapala's 200 or more and the Berkley's 500 or more. That combination, a solid rating with comparatively lighter recent purchase volume, suggests a plier that satisfies buyers once purchased but has less overall reach than the higher-volume alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Booms BFFTR0567K20 come as a single plier or a set?
It ships as a 2-piece black set for $7.99 total, which works out to under $4 per plier. That is a different structure than the Texas SR-5, Rapala RCP6, and Berkley BTSTLP6 in this lineup, all of which are sold as single units.
How does the 4.4 star rating compare to other fishing pliers?
It matches the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 stars but sits below the 4.6 stars held by both the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6. With 537 reviews behind it, the sample size is larger than the Texas SR-5's 396, giving the rating a reasonably solid base.
Is 100 or more bought last month a good sign for this plier?
It shows steady, ongoing purchases, though it is the lowest of the four pliers compared here, behind the Rapala RCP6's 200 or more and well behind the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500 or more. Combined with a 4.4 star rating, it still points to a functional, reliably purchased tool.
