SJTG-SJT-BR#-TOOLPC-210722-B09ND25N8D Fishing Pliers Review
Our verdict
The SJTG Fishing Pliers 4-Piece Set costs $5.99, the lowest price in this comparison, and still holds a 4.3 star rating across 862 reviews, the second largest review count of the four tools here. It will not match the single count durability of the $20.11 Texas SR-5, but for four mixed color pieces at this price, it is hard to beat on cost per tool.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Budget minded anglers who want four pliers style tools for less than the price of one premium option, circle hook fishermen per the listed technique tag, and anyone who wants a mixed color set for easy identification in a tackle box.
Skip if
Skip it if you want a recognizable name brand tool, since this listing uses a generic SKU style title rather than a branded name. Anglers chasing the highest rating should look at the 4.6 star Texas SR-5 or Rapala RCP6 instead.

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

Overview
Circle hooks can be tricky to back out cleanly, and the listing for this SJTG branded fishing pliers set targets exactly that job with a technique tag of circle hook. It ships as a 4 piece set in mixed colors, built from aluminum and plastic, and priced at $5.99, the lowest of any tool in this comparison.
Despite the generic naming, the numbers hold up. It carries a 4.3 star rating across 862 reviews, more reviews than the Texas SR-5's 396, the Rapala RCP6's 544, and even the Berkley BTSTLP6's 848, making it the most reviewed tool in this set. Its 100+ bought last month figure is more modest, trailing the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and the Rapala RCP6's 200+, but still ahead of the Texas SR-5's 0+.
The aluminum and plastic build sizes it as a medium tool rather than a heavy duty saltwater piece, and four pieces in a set means backups are built in if one gets lost. For anglers who care more about price and proven review volume than brand recognition, this set makes a reasonable case.
Pros
- Priced at $5.99, the cheapest tool in this comparison by a wide margin
- 862 reviews, the highest review count among the four tools compared here
- 4.3 star rating holds up despite the rock bottom price point
- Ships as a 4 piece set in mixed colors, giving built in backups
- Carries a circle hook technique tag suited to that specific rigging style
Cons
- 100+ bought last month trails the 500+ for the Berkley BTSTLP6 and the 200+ for the Rapala RCP6
- Generic SKU style naming with no established brand behind it
- Aluminum and plastic build is sized medium, not built for heavy saltwater species
- 4.3 star rating sits below the 4.6 stars of the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6

Performance notes
The circle hook technique tag on the spec sheet points to a tool shaped and sized for backing hooks out cleanly on that specific rig, which matters since circle hooks tend to set differently than J hooks. Aluminum and plastic construction keeps the medium sized tool light without going as bare bones as a pure plastic disgorger, and shipping four pieces in mixed colors means a lost piece does not end the trip. At $5.99, the per unit cost across four pieces works out well below a dollar and a half each, undercutting every single count pliers in this comparison. The tradeoff for that price is the lack of a named brand or added features like the split ring plier function listed on the Texas SR-5, so this reads as a functional, no frills option rather than a specialized tool.
What buyers say
With 862 reviews, this listing has the largest review base of any tool in this comparison, edging past even the Berkley BTSTLP6's 848. A 4.3 star average on that volume suggests the rating is a stable, well tested signal rather than a fluke from a small sample. The 100+ bought last month figure is the softest demand number here next to the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500+ and the Rapala RCP6's 200+, though it still clears the Texas SR-5's 0+ easily. Read together, the pattern suggests a product that built a large base of buyers over time even though current month sales have cooled compared to the top sellers in this set.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this fishing pliers set have such a generic name?
The listing uses a manufacturer SKU style title rather than a consumer facing brand name, which is common for private label tackle gear. It does not affect the specs on record: aluminum and plastic construction, four mixed color pieces, and a $5.99 price backed by 862 reviews at 4.3 stars.
Is this set good for circle hooks specifically?
Yes, the specs list a circle hook technique tag, meaning the tool is designed with that hook style's removal angle in mind. Anglers who mostly fish J hooks might not see the same fit, though the tool's basic function should still work across common hook types.
How does the price compare to the other fishing pliers here?
At $5.99, it undercuts the Berkley BTSTLP6 ($10.99), the Rapala RCP6 ($11.97) and the Texas SR-5 ($20.11) by a wide margin, and it ships as a 4 piece set rather than a single unit, stretching the value further across more pieces.
