Overview
Long nose pliers earn their name by reaching past the gill plate or deep into a fish's mouth without needing to get fingers close to teeth or hooks. The BiteX Long Nose fishing pliers are built from stainless steel, weigh 5.25 ounces, and come in black, priced at $9.99. A 4.4 star rating across 45 reviews and 100+ units bought last month point to a listing that is finding steady buyers without yet building the large review history of some competitors.
Against the field, the BiteX sits close in price to the Rapala RCP6 at $11.97 and above the Bneajix A1019 at $7.19, while its 4.4 star rating matches the Berkley BTSTLP6's 4.4 exactly and trails the Rapala's and Texas SR-5's 4.6 by a couple tenths. Its 45 reviews are a fraction of the Berkley's 848 or the Rapala's 544, but its purchase volume of 100+ a month is on par with the Multitool Fp-2023-ss and ahead of the Texas SR-5's reported 0+.
For anglers who specifically want a long nose design for reaching deep hook sets, at a price between the cheapest and most expensive options in this comparison, the BiteX is a reasonable middle-ground pick backed by a rating that beats or matches half the field.

Performance notes
A long nose profile is built for reaching into a fish's mouth or past a gill plate without bringing fingers near hooks or teeth, which matters most with toothy or deep-swallowing species. Stainless steel construction resists the rust that saltwater spray and general moisture cause over repeated trips. At 5.25 ounces, the BiteX sits in a similar weight class to general-purpose pliers, light enough to clip to a vest or stash in a small bag without adding noticeable bulk. The black finish is a practical choice that hides grime better than lighter colors. The listing's only feature callout is the generic 'Fishing Pliers' tag, so buyers looking for extras like a split-ring function, as listed on the Texas SR-5, or a lanyard, as listed on some competitors, will not find that detail confirmed here.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star rating across 45 reviews is a respectable mid-pack result, sitting even with the Berkley BTSTLP6 and just behind the 4.6 marks on the Rapala RCP6 and Texas SR-5. The review count is modest, well below the Berkley's 848 and the Rapala's 544, which means the average has less of a large-sample cushion behind it. Still, 100+ units bought last month shows the listing is moving at a pace similar to the Multitool Fp-2023-ss and ahead of the Texas SR-5's reported 0+ for the period. Together, the pattern reads as a newer entrant building a track record rather than an established best seller.

How much does the BiteX Long Nose fishing pliers weigh?
It weighs 5.25 ounces according to the listing, which is light enough for all-day carry in a vest pocket or small tackle bag. That weight is broadly comparable to other pliers in this category built for general hook removal and line cutting rather than heavy-duty saltwater work.
Is the BiteX Long Nose pliers rating reliable?
The 4.4 star rating comes from 45 reviews, a moderate sample that is smaller than the Berkley BTSTLP6's 848 or the Rapala RCP6's 544, but larger than some newer listings in this category. It's a reasonable, if not extensive, signal of buyer satisfaction.
How does the BiteX Long Nose fishing pliers price compare to competitors?
At $9.99, it costs more than the Bneajix A1019's $7.19 but less than the Rapala RCP6's $11.97 and the Texas SR-5's $20.11, landing it in the middle of the price range for the pliers covered in this comparison of fishing gear.
