Fiskar scissors - thought I would share

I was on the search for a better way to cut braided line, read some threads in a search and some guys were posting about Fiskar scissors in the kid section at Walmart. Today I was there and searched for them, I found them in the back to school section with about 20 mom's and 30 kids. Got my hands on a pair and they work great, not sure how long they will last but they cut braided line like butter with no fraying.

Though I would share my find

Thanks for the post. Got to try them out.

I like the Boomerang snips.

Been recommending them for several years. I like the Child Size, because they fit easily into a plastic tray/tackle box. They should last for many years, and even if they don't last for more than a few years ... at their price (~ $2 ) they're easily replaceable with little crying from your wallet.

I also recommend a 6" piece of wooden dowel rod ... to use to wrap your braid around to pull a snagged bait loose. Braid can cut your hand/fingers, and even foam or cork rod handles, if you use them. I've already experienced that mistake (using 10/2 PowerPro) !!

Thanks for the info will be trying them out.

X2 - Another vote for the Boomerang Tool. Small, compact and stores easily.

Here's the link on Amazon:

Good info and an even better price!

I cannot use the "kiddie" scissors, as the finger holes are too small. I have a couple pairs of the Repala scissors made specifically for braid. I have them tethered to a short piece of broomstick with para-cord to pull snags.

Thanks for the heads up

Fiskars craft scissors are actually of better quality, still the same small form factor and are crazy sharp. I've had the same two pairs for 3-4 years and they still haven't needed sharpening. Look for them in the craft section of your local big box or a hobby lobby type store.

I also vote for the Boomerang Tool. Once you try it you will wonder why you didn't sooner. Little more expensive ($12) but very easy to use and cut any line right at the hook eye easily. I hook them on my belt loop for always having them close by and easy to get to. Works good for me.

Cool. You got the pink ones, right?

I use Fiskers. Got several CYA pairs Been using them since CP made mention years back. Cat's meow they be. Dowel rod is a top notch tool also. I graduated from a dowel to a soft grip #2 phillips. Call it a multipurpose tool if you wish.

Boomerang all the way!

It took me a while to find this - it is the thread I posted some time ago about scissors.

Braid - Scissors and a Stick/

Just seen those at the mart yesterday while looking for a new idea for storing my double minnow rigs, shoulda grabbed them up.

Thanks for the post on Fiskers. I used to post a reminder about Fiskers & Back to school but old age has really caught up with me. I always bought Fiskers and at $2.00 a pair I would replace them every 2 years always worked fine for me.:HandsClapping

I bought the pointed version, I think they have bigger finger holes than the blunted ones. I used them last night cutting 60 lb braided line catfishing.

I do need to find a better way to store tools to fid them.

Just got the wife to buy me 2 new pair yesterday. One pink and one red. The pink are staying in the shop. 1.25 ea at the Mart. Cut better than my high dollar rapala.
