What are fishing scissors used for?
Fishing scissors cut braid, mono, and bait. Fine points reach into a lure wrap or a bag of PVA.
How are fishing scissors different from similar gear?
Blades, not a notch cutter. Better for bait and packing than a ceramic braid clip.
When should you use fishing scissors?
Keep them in a fly or carp bag when you cut thread, PVA, and bait as well as line.
What problems do fishing scissors solve?
They handle materials a line cutter will not: mesh, tape, and a fillet of squid.
