Need some Braid cutters and a Powell rod

[Montanaro]

Gambler evolution braid scissors.  Only 7 bucks and is also split ring plier.

I have tried a ton of braid cutters and they all dull pretty quickly (especially the Boomerangs). I get the cleanest cut from the Pitbull. They are the best I've used. I have had them a while and so far, they have remained sharp. I highly recommend them.

I have these.  The Split ring part of it is close to useless.  The cutter snips braid like butter.  The Boomerang likes a like a good deal, too.

Powell is coming out with a new Endurance line of rods soon.  They seem priced right!  Cheaper than the purple (older) ones.  If you get on Facebook and follow them, there should be some recent postings about them (no mention on Powell's website).  I own a Max 3D and definitely prefer my Endurances over the 3D.

Wdy Crankbait  What do you like about your old Endurance over the Max 3D?  I have an original Powell Max 683CF which I love.  I was curious what you disliked about the MAX3D?  Have you fished an Inferno?

FishnKamp,

 

Well, there are a couple of things.  First, the split grip handle is longer on the Purple Endurances so, it fits me better with the butt of the rod against my side.  Two, the reel seat on the purple Endruances, it lets the blank seat against your "underneath," finger.  

 

Send me a message with your email address and I will provide some pictures of what I am talking about.  Also, I have a lot of health problems and have to go to Hopkins a lot!  My buddy lives in Ellicot city, next time I come up I'll hit you up and bring a couple of Powell rods if you would like.

I normally just use the Fiskars safety scissors from walmart which are pretty cheap and work great. Up here the Boomerang sells for $25, but on my recent trip to the US, I snagged one on sale at Basspro for $10 and it works great and definitely more portable.

 

For those that are interested in the Hemocuts that @J Francholinked, Sierra Trading Post has them for $8.99.
