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 7.5 inch plier built with a safety lock design for secure storage in a tackle bag, the FLISSA Fishing Pliers weigh 0.13 kilograms and come finished in black. Priced at $17.99, it sits between the $11.97 to $20.11 range of the other pliers in this comparison, closer to the Texas SR-5 than the Rapala RCP6 or Berkley BTSTLP6. The product listing references aluminum, while the stated material spec lists stainless steel, worth noting before choosing based on material alone.
Where the FLISSA stands out is its rating. A 4.8 star average across 201 reviews is the highest of any plier compared here, ahead of the 4.6 stars shared by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6 and the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 stars. That is achieved with a review count of 201, smaller than the Texas SR-5's 396, the Rapala's 544, and the Berkley's 848, though still a substantial sample on its own.
Recent demand backs up the rating, with 300+ units bought last month, more than the Rapala's 200+ and far ahead of the Texas SR-5's 0+, though still behind the Berkley's 500+. For anglers who want a safety lock feature and are comfortable with the mixed aluminum and stainless steel labeling in the listing, the combination of a 4.8 star rating and steady recent sales makes a strong case at $17.99.

Performance notes
The safety lock design is meant to keep the jaws closed when the plier is not in use, a small feature that prevents it from opening accidentally inside a tackle bag or pocket and possibly damaging line or lures. At 0.13 kilograms and 7.5 inches, it is compact and light enough for one-handed use while landing or releasing fish. The listed material spec calls out stainless steel, which should hold up well to saltwater exposure, though the product name also references aluminum, so buyers focused on exact build material may want to confirm with the listing photos or seller before ordering. The black finish is straightforward rather than a high-visibility color choice like the orange and silver used on the Texas SR-5.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star average is the highest in this comparison, topping the 4.6 stars shared by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6 and the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 stars, and it comes from a real base of 201 reviews rather than a handful of ratings. The 300+ units bought last month reinforces that pattern, sitting well above the Texas SR-5's 0+ and the Rapala's 200+, though still short of the Berkley's 500+. Together, the high rating, healthy review count, and strong recent purchase volume suggest the FLISSA is currently one of the better performing pliers in this set on buyer satisfaction, even though it has not built up the largest review total of the group.
