Are you speaking of the 25 inch cow that took you 15 minutes to pull in at the ditch?  |

IMO Manley pliers are still the best bet. For about $30 you get a pliers with a side cutter that cut hooks, braid, wire and anything else you want. Plus you have a good set of pliers. As long as you spray them with WD-40 occasionally, they will last forever. I have a pair I have been carrying for 25 years.

Especially when you have to cut a hook off, alone with a bluefish and your finger attached....  |

I bought the Calcutta's at West Marine. No corrosion problem other then the leash, not a biggy, but after cutting 30-50lb mono/flouro over a week it loosened up and the cutters never lined up after that. Too much play. Poor design. Wasn't interested in tightening screws or nuts, new for a week. Instead of one hand cutting, it turned into two hand cutting just to line the cutters up. Brought back to West Marine for my 110 dollars back. Found a better value in the X Tools Floating Pliers for 14 bucks that cuts braid and mono, so far holding up with no rust or serious wear and didn't break the bank.

Was this the fish you were telling me about? 
We gonna get at it next week? |
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
