FAQs
Can these scissors cut through wire traces?
No, these are designed specifically for braid and monofilament. Cutting wire will dull the blades and damage the serrated edge.
Are these suitable for saltwater use?
While they are durable, it is recommended to rinse them with fresh water and dry them thoroughly after exposure to saltwater to prevent oxidation.
What is the best way to clean the blades?
Use a dry cloth to wipe away any residual debris. If there is stubborn residue, a light wipe with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one is sufficient.
Why does one blade have serrations and the other is smooth?
The serrated edge acts as a grip to hold the line in place while the smooth edge slices, which is vital for preventing stiff filaments from sliding out of the blades.
Are these scissors left-hand friendly?
The ergonomic design is primarily shaped for right-handed use, though they can be used by left-handed anglers with basic care.
Troubleshooting
Scissors are not cutting cleanly through braid.
Ensure the blades are free of debris or residue; wipe clean and check that the pivot point is not obstructed.
Resistance when cutting stiff materials.
Make sure you are utilizing the section of the blade with the serrations, as this provides the necessary grip for rigid materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors require no assembly or complex setup. To maintain their sharpness, keep the blades clean of dirt, mud, and residual glue from rig putty or bait. Periodically wiping the blades with a dry cloth will prevent corrosion. Avoid using these scissors on anything other than fishing line or soft materials, as cutting metallic items or grit can dull the serrated edge prematurely. Store them in a dry compartment of your tackle box to ensure longevity.
