Although it had the name "angler" it wasn't really good for any specialty fishing applications. It didn't have pliers. I never used the "hook disgouger" but I did use the scaler.

I was looking into the Leatherman Juice S2. Then I thought, hey why not check for purpose-built angling multi-tools. Something that could be of use if I deep-hook a Northern.... well that's wishful thinking, full-scale pliers would be required. But something close to that.

Any thoughts on a good camping/backpacking and fishing tool?

I carry a hemostat for removal and a pocket knife.
Hemostat locks on to vest for easy hook removal.
