Mustad expands its product line in 2004, adding 10 Sportsman's Tools, including pliers, wire cutters, forceps, hook sharpener, mechanical scales, jig-eye buster, filet knife and an 8-in-1 fishing tool. Pliers will come in stainless-steel, 6- and 8-inch long-nose; heavy-duty, 6- and 8-inch needle-nose; and 11-inch long-reach versions. The mechanical scale will come in 20- and 50-pound sizes, featuring a stainless-steel spring and hook and a rust-resistant aluminum housing. Mustad's hook sharpener is an aluminum-oxide stone in an ABS housing. The 8-in-1 fishing tool includes a file, line pick, jig-eye pick, knife blade, two bending edges and a cutting tool. Mustad has also packaged multiple tools so anglers can buy combos. Retail prices range from $2.99 for the hook sharpener to $24.99 for several of the combos. Call 315-253-2793 or visit www.mustad.no.
