Went to a local lake and this one should be a no brainer. Was using 30lb Spider wire and wanted to change lures. Didnt have anything to cut the line with. So I had to become prehistoric and rub the line against a rock till friction wore through. Then when I tied on a new lure I had this tag end to deal with. Well needless to say without having a cutting device the tag end stayed and was irritating. Probably a good cutter for braided line would be a pair of cheap childrens FISKAR scissors(as stated in the Power Pro braided line packaging). Just keep this little pointer in mind as I lived it and will do my best to put a pair of those scissors in my tackle box.

Finger-nail clippers have always worked fine for me

I don't use braided but always keep scissors because of reasons like this. Great tip for those that do....thanks for posting

my 50lb power pro laughs at fingernail clippers then farts in their general direction... I have a pair of scissors in my bag exclusively for braid.

That's a good way to put it!!! ;D

With the fingernail clippers I have used in the past, you would have a better chance using fishinaz's way with a good sharp rock.

I keep a pair of fingernail clippers with me, and there is a wire-cutter thing on my needle nose pliers

I always carry a Gerber utility tool, it has Fiskars scissors as well as a very sharp knife, trust me it is sharp :'(, that way I have a cutting tool as well as pliers for those stubborn crankbaits.

Scissors are a must in my tackle box...............oh yeah, SFC nice Python reference.

Another fan of the Gerber here! You can't beat the scissors on that hand tool!

I keep a smaller Leatherman (Juice S2) in my pocket at all times.  The only time I don't have it is in bed and on a plane.  Best x-mas present ever (thank you wifey).  It has a scissors, knife, and pliers, all essential tools while fishing.  I've even had to bust out the screw drivers on occasion. Oh it never hurts to have a bottle opener handy  .  Seriously, BEST PRESENT EVER!!!!!

These work well too, 'cept I always singe my thumb and forefinger protecting the knot when I burn off the tag end.

I always keep a little Victorinox Swiss Army knife in my pocket and one in my tackle box. It's the one that sells for $8 in most stores and has the little scissors. They work great for most lines and are adequate for braid lines.

Here it is:
