WHAT IS IT?
Toadfish Line Nippers
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Complementing the scissor, Toadfish also released its compact Line Nippers. Tough enough for fresh or brackish environments, these nippers are made from machined aluminum and fitted with carbide cutters that can handle anything from light fly-fishing tippets to 80-pound braid. Toadfish makes it easy to access these Line Nippers by including a retractable lanyard that attaches to belt loops, waders, trolling motor remotes or tackle bags.
HOW DO I USE IT?
It’s one of the most common tasks in bass fishing; something done by subconscious repetition — cutting lines. Sure, we probably all did the thumb-and-pocketknife thing at one time or another, and ill-advised as it may be, the incisors have done the job more than once. Well, in the interest of efficiency and dental safety, Toadfish offers a new line scissor that make short work of braid, monofilament and fluorocarbon. Made with corrosion-resistant stainless blades featuring microserrated edges, the Toadfish scissor is designed with a built-in carabiner for quick storage, a hole for lanyard attachment and a built-in bottle opener.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Often success awaits at the end of a long road paved with experimentation, adjustment and wholesale change, all requiring lots of rigging effort. Other times, retying is a matter of frequent break-offs because you’re “fishing where the fish are.” Then, there’s the tournament ritual known as “doing tackle.” Within this all, the ability to quickly and cleanly cut line and trim knot tags requires dependable tools. Toadfish seems to have built a reliable set of tools that’ll handle the tasks commonly facing anglers of all levels.
