A Note From Our Local Experts
"Anyone who's spent time chasing worms on our local beaches like Windang and Warilla knows that standard steel pliers rust solid after a single trip. As experts in the gear that works, we chose to stock these Samaki Brass Pliers because they represent the classic, time-tested solution to this problem. Brass simply does not rust, and it has a solid, weighted feel that many experienced anglers, especially from the older generation, prefer. It's a durable, purpose-built piece of gear that we know stands up to the task."

Pro-Tips: The Art of Worming
- Patience is Key: Once you've tempted a worm to show its head with your bait (a smelly piece of pilchard or pipi works great), don't rush. Let the worm get a confident hold of the bait.
- The Grip: As the wave recedes, firmly grip the worm's head with the pliers, getting as close to the sand as possible. Maintain steady, gentle pressure—don't squeeze too hard.
- The Pull: Do not try to yank the worm straight out. It will break. Instead, maintain that steady pressure and let the next wave help you by loosening the sand. As the sand shifts, the worm will come free easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are brass pliers better than the newer plastic/nylon versions?
Both materials have their advantages. Brass pliers offer a classic, weighted feel and excellent durability. Modern nylon pliers are much lighter and also completely rust-proof. The choice often comes down to personal preference. You can see our full range of fishing pliers here.
Why can't I just use regular steel pliers?
We strongly advise against it. Not only will they rust almost immediately after one trip to the beach, but the serrated jaws of standard pliers are designed for gripping hard objects and will almost always tear or crush delicate live bait like beach worms, rendering them useless.
