A MUST HAVE for those fishing from a yak

A saw a plug for this product while watching kayak bassin' or the kayak fishing show a while back on world fishing network. This is a pair of line cutters that are retractable and about the size of a key chain. I've been out plenty of times with these and I boy do I love these things. I clip them to the side of my seat and whenever I need to tie on a lure, they're always within reach, and I never have to worry about dropping them into the drink. I haven't tried them on braid yet, but they cut like a hot knife through butter on anything I've tried so far. You can also lock the snips shut so they don't snag or cut something by mistake. If you're still using some cutters that do not float, then I encourage you to check these out!

I have a set. They work great on braid.

The guide I fish with in Florida wrote a review of the product.

Bass pro has them

Just ordered the long blade version on Amazon. They make several different snips. One even has a light built in. Have not had good luck with retractable tethers in the salt. Guess I will find out how this one hold up.

There is a large saltwater model that bass pro also carries

I've got a pair of these and they work well. For those of you looking for something new, I wear a line cutterz ring. It cuts through just about anything. They are even using it on 200lb muzzy braid that guys are using for bow fishing. There are some tutorials on their website for cutting tag lines close to your lure. I've always got one on. It's very light and I forget I have it on most of the time. It's also a great safety tool in case you get wrapped up in your line. www.linecutterz.com

I've been wearing a pair of those on my belt loop while fishing for about 2 months. They work well and cut braid easily. They also make short work of 100# fluorocarbon leader material.

I got them after I wrecked the cutters on my pliers cutting the steel leaders while releasing sharks. The dedicated boomerang snips work better anyway.

What about rust? How does the Boomerang Snip hold up?

I use a pair of ceramic scissors. Always sharp; never rusts.

buzz - i have a pair of these and have been using them for over a year now, mostly in summer and it has been in fresh water, but have no signs of rust and no issues with them. I have been cutting through mono, flouro and braid with these. I have them attached to my pfd and love them. So easy and never far awa from me.

The boomerang is the best line cutter I have ever used...

I have been using the Saltwater version all year and no rust so far. Shame on me, but I just realized while writing this post that although I rinse my rods, reels and lures, I have never rinsed this nipper. So, I guess it has been treated pretty badly, and still no rust. I also received a gift last year of a Spyderco Salt 1 fishing knife made with a special stainless alloy, H1. No rust on it at the end of year 2.

I used mine over the weekend and there is rust forming on the screws holding it together, there is no rust occurring on the blade.
