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

Overview
Landing a fish and needing both a gripper and a plier at once is a common moment on the bank, and the Pawfly Pawfly-HY8115 set is built around exactly that pairing. Priced at $12.99, it includes 2 metal pieces in a multi-color finish, combining a fishing plier with a fish gripper in one purchase rather than selling them separately.
On price, $12.99 sits above the Rapala RCP6's $11.97 and the Berkley BTSTLP6's $10.99, but well under the Texas SR-5's $20.11. The rating tells a different story: at 4.1 stars from 30 reviews, the Pawfly HY8115 posts the lowest score of the four pliers compared here, behind the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 stars and the 4.6 stars shared by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6.
Bought last month stands at 200 or more, matching the Rapala RCP6 and beating the Texas SR-5's 0 or more, though it trails the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500 or more. The 30 reviews backing this listing are also the fewest in the group, well under the 396 to 848 range posted by the alternatives. For buyers who value the bundled gripper enough to accept a lower rating and a smaller review base, the two-piece format is the main differentiator here.

Performance notes
A metal build across 2 pieces gives buyers both a plier and a fish gripper without a separate purchase, which is a different value proposition than the single-tool pliers in this comparison. The multi-color finish likely aids visibility in a tackle bag, similar to the orange and red finishes seen on other models in this category. Without a specific material grade like stainless steel or aluminum listed, it is harder to gauge corrosion resistance compared to the Texas SR-5's stated stainless steel build. The fish gripper component addresses a task none of the three comparison pliers cover directly, since they are listed strictly as pliers. For anglers who handle fish with teeth or spines, having a gripper paired with a plier in one purchase can simplify a tackle bag, even if the individual tools may not match the finish quality of pricier single-purpose pliers.
What buyers say
A 4.1 star rating from 30 reviews is the lowest combination in this comparison, sitting below the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 stars and well below the 4.6 stars shared by the Texas SR-5 and Rapala RCP6. The review count of 30 is also the smallest here, a fraction of the 396 to 848 range posted by the other three. Still, 200 or more bought last month matches the Rapala RCP6's pace and clears the Texas SR-5's 0 or more, though it falls short of the Berkley BTSTLP6's 500 or more. The pattern suggests a newer, lower-rated bundle that is still moving units, likely on the strength of its two-piece format and price rather than a standout rating.
