While most fishing tools focus on one part of the process, the Gerber Gutsy Tool provides four essential functions in a compact package. Comprised of 5Cr13MoV steel, the tool features a scaler, gut hook, scooper and bottle opener. A contoured handle makes using the tool a breeze and multiple spots with finger jimping ensures that even the slimiest fish will never cause the tool to slip out of hand.
The scaler on the Gerber Gutsy Tool is ground into the body and features sharp teeth that effectively remove scales from the fish. The gut hook is again ground into the body and has an ultra-sharp edge that easily slides down the body of the fish. The scooper is an easy-to-use point that removes any veins without damaging the blade. The Gerber Gutsy Tool may not replace an entire tackle box, but this compact pocket tool is dependable enough to act as an all-in-one processing tool for fishing trips.
