FAQs
Can these scissors cut through wire leaders?
These scissors are optimized for braided and monofilament lines. Using them on metal wire can damage the sharpness of the blades.
Are they safe for saltwater use?
Yes, they are made from stainless steel, but you should rinse them with fresh water and dry them thoroughly after every saltwater trip to prevent corrosion.
How do I sharpen the blades if they get dull?
Due to the precision design of the perforated blades, it is recommended to use them only for fishing line to maximize blade life rather than attempting to sharpen them manually.
Do they come with a protective sheath?
The Trakker Braid Scissors are designed for compact storage within a tackle box; check your specific packaging as they are intended to be stored safely in your gear bag.
Are these suitable for left-handed anglers?
Yes, the ergonomic design is symmetrical, making them suitable for both left and right-handed users.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open
Clear any residual salt, grit, or line debris from the pivot point and apply a small drop of light machine oil if necessary.
Blades are not cutting cleanly
Check the blades for line buildup or adhesive residue. Wipe the blades thoroughly with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry before checking the tension.
