Just bought 5 pair of the Cuda Micro 3" Scissors from Walmart. Hoping to test them out this weekend on some new Mad Fishen braid. They feel really good in the hand, I'm sure they cut good as well.

Thanks for posting the video. I bought two pair taking a chance because not all these video products live up to the promises. This product actually does. Although I don't have a lot of mileage on them, I'm impressed so far. Thanks again.

Yeah, been using braid for 30 years, these snip through it better that anything I used before .

I got a love hate thing with braid. I use 10-15lb in various brands over the past. It is strong and will almost always save your jig, unless you're using something really beefy.

The likes:

Its very strong and you wont have to worry about dipping in thick cover and getting that hand tie back.

You can see your line on the scope in most cases. I have some micro 15 now and it doesn't show up as well as others, but I never really have an issue following my jig in 10-15 foot of water.

It pitches very well and stays limp and will last me a full season usually.

The fall is quicker which is nice for a 1/32 and not having to go to a small spilt shot when you hit a little deeper water.

Sensitivity is better

The bad:

Its so limp, it wraps easily around a tip from its tiny diameter and it being so limp. With a 14-16 foot rod this can be a PITA. You can pop your rod by accident or whatever and it will wrap around the tip 50 times and knot itself before you can blink. I always leave my line at least 6 or 8 feet of slack out when moving about with the rod. Dont reel it in with a split shot above your jig and set it on the deck...it will be jacked when you need to grab it.

It freezes quickly after its saturated.

It plain sucks in big wind.

Its tough to get a clean cut on it from time to time and I have to keep a fresh pair of snips around or it will fray it, making it darn near impossible to thread without grabbing my readers.

I guess the positives outweigh the negatives, but I still keep some good flouro on a couple of rods cause it sinks a little better than mono with tiny hand ties and you can get some really clear flouro for a cheap price. Mono is just too stretchy for me, but its all I used to run spider rigging.

Cant say I like either one more than the other, but I have had a couple of situations where I said I was done with braid. The strength and sensitivity, especially in very shallow or very deep water where I cant see the fish well help you get a quick hit on them.

Got a pair of these after reading this. You're right. They are awesome, and cheap. Got them on Amazon delivered for under $4.

I have a pair of braid scissors from Bass Pro that I have had a few years. A real sharp knife will cut it pretty blunt. It certainly threads better when it is wet

I like the idea of using fiscars. I need a new trimming tool for my wading pack and these sound perfect.

The blue scissors pictured and others have cerrated (sp)edges and the line doesn’t slide away from being cut. Mine work better than anything else.

Been using Boomerang snips to cut braid for years.
