Quick take
A compact line cutter with serrated blade, hook cleaner, and retractor for portability and quick access.
This compact line cutter pairs a serrated stainless steel blade with a locking feature, so it handles braid, fluorocarbon and mono without slipping. A built-in hook eye cleaner clears glue from lure hook eyes and helps work out small tangles. It ships with a zinger retractor that clips to your gear, keeping the cutter within reach on a boat, dock or shoreline. The corrosion-resistant build suits both freshwater and saltwater trips.

- Cleaning hook eyes of glue during lure assembly or repair
