Any folding pocket knife. Why? Cause they're cheap and can fit in my pockets

Boomerang Snip. I've never used a tool that cuts braid so easily.

Childrens  fiskars work just fine.


fishing user avatarLongo reply : 

Another vote for boomerang.  They are awesome!!


fishing user avatark3bass reply : 

Mini craftsman side cutters. Cuts limp braid with ease. If they get dull just exchange them for a new pair.

Boomerang Tool "The Snip" Basic Line Cutter.


fishing user avatarEvanT123 reply : 

Lighter


fishing user avatartater555 reply : 

Another vote for the boomerang snips! They are small, effecient, and are retractable. What else could you ask for? I keep mine on my belt loop, and it is awesome not havin to dig thought my pockets to find my knife every time I need to re-tie


fishing user avatarFurther North reply : 

I'll add another + for the Boomerang - I'e got a dozen sets of 3M scissors on the boat and the Boomerangs have replaced them for everything but wire leaders.


fishing user avatarBig C reply : 

Go with a lighter.  That way if you ever find yourself in a survival situation you can always switch lures.


fishing user avatarAdamsEye reply : 

I use a few sets of titanium scissors sold in the craft isle of most department stores. They cost about $1.00, are plenty sharp enough, and strong enough to last you a few season no problem. Fiskars and Westcott are two good brands to look for.


fishing user avatarWPCfishing reply : 

Boom Boom it is, Thx


fishing user avatarDarren. reply : 

I have two Boomerang snips, and some kids' Fiskars.

 

Both cut braid well. The Boomerangs are out on the 

water with me. They're not 100% perfect, but darn 

good for the money.

Cheap, but amazing!


fishing user avatarbuzzed bait reply : 

The best thing i've ever used are the Evolution Gorilla Pliers, but they're pricey (mine were free).  Otherwise, the boomerang snips work very well.


fishing user avatarWPCfishing reply : 

I have Lews Pliers that cut great but, I can't get close enough to the knot easily. 

The Boomerang's seem like a good choice. I'm going with them.


fishing user avatarDogmatic reply : 

d**n sharp scissors...SACLASSD_zpsmmk3v5r8.jpg


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

Boomerang snips are the best line cutters on the planet and it gets big bonus points since it has the retractable cord and you can attach it to a belt clip/keychain caribiner so it's always handy without having to fish through your gear for a cutting tool.  One thing though is that it will dull over time so you need to use different parts of the snip until it's time to get a new one.  I typically buy a new one at the start of every fishing season, but it's probably my single best investment every year that I have no qualms about.


fishing user avataricatchlittlebass reply : 

Forgot my scissors at my house when I went out, just a helpful tip to some of you guys, but the top of a dip can, the bottom edge of it will cut the line for you if you are in a pinch


fishing user avatarboostr reply : 

I use the Rapala braid shears, and never had a problem with them. They cut pretty good.

i looked at those on TW , most people said they are great for the first couple months then they get dull . i'm telling you , Fiskar scissors last for a long time , still trying to find a decent belt clip for them .

Look for EMT scissor sheath on google, tons of options some under $10.


fishing user avatarWPCfishing reply : 

I ended up buying The Snip and a Rapala 5" serrated scissors. Got them on eBay.
