Jaws
- The Compact Fisherman has extra long and skinny needlenose jaws. (Note that these are not the same jaws as included on the larger Gerber 600-series Fisherman, which include carbide inserted wire cutters)
- A number of half-round cutouts between the jaws are for crimping leaders.
- Wire cutters are of the anvil type. (Regular 400-series tools have bypass type wire cutters)
- A hard wire notch is included, presumably for cutting fish hooks.
- In the closed position, over 3/4" of the jaw tips still protrude out of the handles. (see photo below)
