KNIPEX stainless rod cutters. Oil them up and stick em in a bag. You can cut 1/4" steel with two fingers on them.

Bought these about a year ago for just such an occasion. Helped a guy that got a nice VMC in his thumb, right next to the nail. These things sliced the hook (Habs lure) like butter and did not even "Jolt" during the cut. By that I mean it was less pain for the patient. Got them at Ace for about $20...fantastic investment!!

yes they are and they have a nice blunt tip to them which won't cut or pinch the skin if you have to get in tight. I know this from experience.

Must have been on another site because I just did this.

Manley pliers. Carried them in the surf for 25 years. Side cutters that will cut anything.

No boat, back in the suds.
