I got mine at Target. Sports Authority has them too.

I never saw them at Mike's but I don't get in there much these days. He has mucho new stuff every time I head up your way.

I've used regular nail clippers, but you sort of have to pull on the line to cut it while you're pressing on the clippers. More like biting or sawing the line instead of cutting it, and they dull quick. A good pair of scissors (Fiskars, Cutco, etc) are just too big to carry and the points can go thru the fabric of a plug bag. This Leatherman thing cuts fine braid clean as a whistle and when folded you can put them in your wader or jacket pocket without risking getting jabbed.

This is the real small Leatherman tool, not the big multi-tool. Costs about $20.
