Quick take
Japanese-made fly fishing tool combining line cutter and jig eye picker in one compact device.
The Daiichi Seiko Pickers EX is a compact Japanese-made knot tool that holds line steady while you tie the Triple Eight and 3.5 knots. It combines a line cutter and a jig-eye threading hole in a 38 g stainless steel body. A swivel clip lets it hang from a vest or bag, and a spare line picker and screwdriver come with it. Anglers who rig small hooks and jigs often will find it handy.
