Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these scissors cut through wire traces?
These are designed for fishing line types like braid, mono, and fluorocarbon. Using them on wire may dull or damage the precision-ground edges.
Do I need to sharpen these blades?
They arrive precision-ground for immediate use. With proper care and by avoiding hard materials, they will remain sharp for a significant amount of time.
Are these scissors safe for use in saltwater?
Yes, they are made from high-grade stainless steel, but you should rinse them with fresh water after saltwater exposure to prevent corrosion.
What should I do if the protective cover is lost?
It is recommended to store them in a dedicated pocket of your tackle box or a small zipper pouch to prevent them from damaging other gear or becoming dull.
Can the blades be adjusted if they feel loose?
Yes, the tension can be adjusted via the central screw, but ensure you do not overtighten, as this will make them difficult to open and close.
Troubleshooting
The scissors feel like they are tearing the line rather than cutting it.
Ensure the blades are clean of any line residue or debris. If the issue persists, check if the pivot screw needs a minor adjustment.
Difficulty cutting through thick braided lines.
Make sure you are utilizing the base of the blades near the pivot point for maximum leverage and utilizing the serrated edge to prevent the line from slipping away.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors are ready to use out of the box. To ensure a long service life, always store the scissors inside the provided protective cover when not in active use; this prevents the blades from dulling against other heavy tools in your tackle box. After use in saltwater environments, it is recommended to rinse the blades with fresh water and dry them thoroughly to prevent any potential oxidation. Periodically check that the pivot screw remains tight to maintain the perfect tension between the serrated and smooth blades for continued precision cutting.
