X2 on the Fiskars. 

 

Thats what I used to use before I lost them and ordered a Rapala kit with braid scissors. The Rapala scissors work really well too.

Although they work well from what I read I refuse to pay $10 to cut my line. :P

 

I have a razor knife I use and a pair of snap ring pliers I got a while back for like $4.99 that has cutters in them. They both work well. 


fishing user avatarflechero reply : 

Just run it across some rock. :lol:  And save your clippers for the mono!


fishing user avatarYeajray231 reply : 

Yup. I have a set of kobalt scissors (from Lowes) that were cheap and they've been cutting my braid for years and still snippin' !

I'm a wild man. I use the knife on my Leatherman or the knife in my pocket. 


fishing user avatarBassThumb reply : 

Rapala braid scissors. Going on 5 years now with the same pair.


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

I have a custom made thingy made out of pike teeth................or at least I have thought about it. Best braid cutters on earth.

 

But until that dream becomes a reality, I use cheap kids scissors from walmart. They last about a season before they become too dull. I toss them at the end of the year and buy a new pair for $2 each spring.

fishing user avatarA5BLASTER reply :

fishing user avatarCenCal fisher reply : 

I have some rapala braid scissors but normally I just use the scissors on my leatherman or the knife on my leatherman

This, or good scissors.

 

Thinking about trying to justify a 1 watt hand held laser for this...but two bills just to cut fishing line seems excessive even to this gear geek...

I better not catch you running with those scissors, young man.

fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

'ANY' brand of braid scissors will do (Culprit, Calcutta, Cuda, Rapala, Boomerang, Owner ~ ~)

Normally I just run the braid over the blade without closing the scissors (how lazy can you get?).

fishing user avatarWIGuide reply : 

I use the Rapala Braid Scissors. They work well and are cheap to boot. Only issue I had was when they got stepped on, they still cut fine but just take a bit more to operate.


fishing user avatarfishindad reply : 

I've used clippers, a knife, scalpel, Fiskars, and the Boomerang - all work but I prefer the Boomerang.
