handy hint for cutting braided lines

[rodmy]

I use a pair of surgical scissors available from surgical supply shops. The ones that nurses use. they cost about about 6 bucks being stainless steel they dont rust, easliy cut fireline etc cleanly

Is that right

[Evileye]

you could go to breammaster and get a pair of thier braid snips for $2.50?, prolly just as good.

Yeah Richos Mum's braid cutters rock!

[rodmy]

well from my experience cheap braid cutters dont cut plus they rust. if u can get a good product for $2.50 good for u!

i have seen braid cutters in shops for 20 bucks plus.

[Richo]

Have to back you up on that one Ira, if you don`t have some of these in ya boat your missing out, some say deadly sharp - nearly to deadly, but keep m dry a bit of Lanox after each sess and they`ll last for ages. Bargin at $2.50 ea give or take 50c.

There`ll come a time when you`ll be locked up for carrying such a weapon.

cheers

i wouldnt pay 20 bucks for braid cutters even if they lasted a life time, the one sfrom breammaster last really long and cut really well, i use them now and they cut 4lb goodly.

I bought Rapala line clippers & their very ordinary...

Took to them with my hook file so now their sharp but they rusted within a fortnight...

I'm using the $2.50 Breammaster ones and they are just the ducks nuts . for that price if they last a year so be it .

No offence Swoffer...
But i dont think the duck would appreciate any connections made between his nuts and the snips...:D
The combination could be devastating!!!;)

Heh the surgical scissors work wonders. but heres a tip. so you if you know someone that is a nurse then just ask them to grab a pair because my mum is a nurse and the might only cut one dressing with those scissors and then throw them out. Apparently it is cheaper to buy new scissors then it is to sterilise them. heh they are stainless steel and they still might rust but think guys. this is fishing you should be spraying all ur gear with some sort of water dispersent to stop the rust so whats the problem with giving them a quick spirt.
