A compact line cutter with retractable tether that cuts through braided, monofilament, and fluorocarbon lines cleanly.
The Snip is a compact line cutter that clips to a vest or pack with its carabiner and trims braid, mono and fluorocarbon. A 36 inch retractable cord keeps it within reach and pulls back after each cut. Stainless blades close under a built-in lock when you are done.
