I.rar Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 dykes work very well. not only for lines but for anything you may need to cut. ive carried a pair for the longest until i was gifted a small swiss army knife one xmas. it was the type with the red led light on the end. the scissors on those always worked very well for me. it has a small clip that i attach to my forceps. keeps everything together.

Super User ww2farmer Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 Kids craft scissors. Think I got them at wally world That's what I use too. One pair of $2 scissors lasts all season.......that is in normal peoples hands. In my case, I buy several. I hide two or three pairs some where in the boat where I will never find them again, throw two pairs in the lake because that's where they usually end up, and still have a couple pairs left over to use.

Super User Scott F Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 I use Dr. Slick scissor clamps. They aren't cheap, but they are multi-taskers. Besides cutting braid, they are also good hook removers. They clamp shut so I clamp them to my shirt where they are always handy. 2 Quote
BradH Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I use Dr. Slick scissor clamps. They aren't cheap, but they are multi-taskers. Besides cutting braid, they are also good hook removers. They clamp shut so I clamp them to my shirt where they are always handy. Those look slick. I've launched a few hemostats overboard unhooking a thrashing hammer handle that decided to hit my bass plug. I might have to find a set of those and put a dummy cord and float on them. Thanks! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 Ok. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Snip (no LED) on ebay yesterday. 11.99 + free shipping. Heard enough good about them here and other forums. My surgical snips are fantastic, but I have caught my arm on them a couple times - no cuts, just the "point" which reminds me time after time that I need a safer alternative. Have them mounted on my PFD, so the Snip should be much safer alternative. Quote
shootermcbob Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I too bit the bullet and purchased the snip. Can't wait to try it out. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 another vote for the snip, this will be my second year on them and still happy! Quote
