Hatch Tempest 2 Plier

Big Water Muscle, Precision Control

Designed for anglers who fish heavy leaders, chase toothy predators, and demand absolute confidence at the boat, the Hatch Tempest 2 Plier is built bigger, stronger, and tougher than the Nomad 2. This reintroduced classic delivers uncompromising rigging power wrapped in the refined engineering Hatch is known for—ready for salt, big fish, and hard use.

Purpose-Built for Heavy Leaders and Hard Fights

The Tempest 2 ups the ante with a larger frame that provides increased leverage when cutting thick mono, fluoro, or braid. Tungsten Carbide cutters are positioned for clean, reliable cuts, while precision-machined jaw grooves securely grab tag ends for fast, controlled rigging. The rigid I-beam arm design maintains alignment under load, giving you confidence when it matters most.

Key Features:

• Oversized plier design for handling heavy leaders and aggressive species

• Tungsten Carbide side cutters for clean, long-lasting cutting performance

• Precision jaw grooves for gripping tag ends and tightening knots

• I-beam arms machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for maximum strength and reduced weight

• Type II anodized finish for corrosion resistance in harsh environments

• Ergonomic profile for secure handling with wet or gloved hands
