This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I use my Rapala clippers, just press tight and move the line back and forth a couple times real quick. It usually snaps off pretty easy. Then wet the end to get it through your hook eyes. Works for me.

TEETH!! :shock: :lol: :lol:

When I use it to tie my boat to the dock, sometimes there's a little tag I wanna trim and I just use the cutting area on my pliers.

Hi Wallyboss,

I use a pair of Fiskars line cutting scissors. They're great! I can cut braided line, mono, lead core even leader material with them. I highly recommend them. Plus they save your teeth. :wink:

Cutting Power Pro

Post by GamblerSteve »

The best scissors to cut power pro is "Fiskars". You can get them from any department store for a couple of bucks.

I really really like those Fiskars. I just might have to get me a pair. I use my fillet knife. It works great, but not the safest way in the world to cut line. :roll:
