I have learned over the few years I have been striper fishing, through one experience or another, that the most important piece of equipment you can carry with you when fishing....be it on your boat or in your tackle bag is a first rate, razor sharp pair of cutters capable of cutting fish hooks! I have seen several folks over the past few years get fish hooks embedded deep in their hands or even scalp and when I saw this...thank goodness I had my cutters with me! Your out fishing and you get a hook embedded in your hand.....what are you going to do????
Just a reminder to folks who don't carry them....there may come a day when you or someone you know gets a hook in the hand.....a great pair of cutters are worth their weight in gold!
