Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 1, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2014 The cutters on my H20 aluminum pliers cut braid faster and cleaner than anything I've ever seen. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/h2o-xpress-forza-7-5-aluminum-pliers/pid-599013?N=845454862 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublest Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I bought a snip a couple of years ago, but a buddy has since showed me a cheaper alternative that works: a pair of 4" End Nipper Pliers from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-end-nipper-pliers-39531.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky241 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 i actually got a pair of disposible medical scissors from the dollar store that work very well. i also have a rapala clippers that will work as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanndomUndead Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I had some Rapala braid sissors and they sucked. Im using 30# Fireline Fusion and that stuff is no joke. The sissors got "sprung" from the braid and would barley cut mono. The best thing Ive found, after using dozens of cutting devices, is that tiny pair of sissors on my swiss army knife. They are super sharp and have been that way since I was like 8 (29 now) !!! Plus I always have the other tools in it handy like screwdrivers and what not. Funny how pre 2k tech was generally made to last...but anything modern is made to break...Gotta love the "business" model in this country 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark_Basser Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I just use a pair of scissors. Those ceramic scissors would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Share Posted March 20, 2015 Planned obsolescence is not a new concept. Had a friend years ago working for BF. Goodrich, telling me they had tires that could last 200,000 miles, but we would be selling less new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass raider Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I use my pocket knife& a lighter. l use the lighter on the tag end of my line after I tie the knot so the tag end doesn't fray all the way down to the knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanndomUndead Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Exactly. One of my buddies always kids me because when he asks for a knife I say "what kind?". I'm usually carrying a leatherman, full sized folder, neck knife, and boot knife. During hunting season I also carry a big fixed blade in a calf sheath just in case. Takes maybe 2 seconds to pull out a knife and snip the line, then I usually pull out a lighter and burn the tag end unless its really windy. Nothing quite like perfecting a rig with beautiful knots, then having it end up on the floor because of wind and a lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
