Default What do you use for pliars?

I have several pairs of pliars, and like certain features of each of them--but don't have any that I just love, and for the record, I like good tools and will pay for them, (although I like a good value for sure), so as an example, I have a pair of Abel pliars, and frankly they are probably pretty good for trout, but they are NOT my go to for my main fishing--bass fishing. I prefer a longer needle nose type, and I don't like the split ring tip on the Rapala's as an example. I am just interested in feedback on what you guys use, and what you do and don't like in them.

Corrosion resistance is VERY important to me, I am not fanatical about caring for my tools, but I am definitely above average IMO, I wipe them down after every use, and at least a couple times a month, I'll wipe them down and lube them with something like Ballistol or similar. Despite this, maybe it's obvious, but buying 'standard' tools from anybody--including Snap-On--of even high quality, will set you up for some rusted tools quickly. I tried a pair of regular needle nose from Ace hardware in a pinch one time, and by the end of the weekend, they were darn near non-functional.

At any rate, what do you guys use/like
