Quick take
A 3-in-1 stainless steel fly fishing tool with knot-tying guide, line cutter, and eye cleaner, on a retractable 34-inch lanyard.
The Booms Fishing FC2 is a pocket-sized stainless steel tool that combines a knot tyer, a line clipper and a hook-eye cleaner. It clips to your vest or pack on a 34-inch retractable cord, so it stays within reach while you change flies or trim tippet. It suits fly anglers who want one small tool for knots, trimming and clearing a clogged hook eye, and it is not meant for braided line.
Best for

- Streamside fly changes and repairs

Skip if
- You use vise-based knot-tying setups at home
- You fish with monofilament and don't tie many knots
Strengths
- Knot tyer guides common fly line knots
