    Fishing question

    Who knows of a handy little pint sized tool for cutting braided line? My fingernail clippers don't work worth a damn on it. And a knife is just too hard to get the tag ends short enough.

    Anybody found a go-to tool for braid?

    We use small high quality scissors round heah
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    And Thumper, as I recall from my Florida days, Mosuito Creek would be an apt name for all of the creeks in that state.

    One of my favorite places to camp/fish on the beach as a kid was Mosquito Lagoon. It's on the East coast. We'd many times camp there for the weekend in Scouts. Great memories.

    Back when I use to fish the Great Lakes, I always used my Leatherman, the pliers had a nice wire cutter part, or I just had a side cutter laying on the transom.
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    Posty, don't know how I missed this thread but get a pair of these as soon as your little Internet surffin' fingers will allow you to. Note the "SKU" number at the very bottom of the picture and go ahead and order. They will cut the braid so clean it make threading through small lure loops a snap. The 5 1/2" model is perfect. It will be the best 29 bucks you ever spent!
