The orange or red pliers in your pic of your drum, are they those kind that lock like vise grips? Been looking for something like that for catfishing.

Yes they are,i use them on trash fish and toothy fish,lip all others.
Word of warning sometimes its hard to getem in a channel cats month until you get the hang ofem. Haven't used the dipnet after buying them and they take no room in the boat to store.
