Quick take
A 5-inch aluminum multitool with a spinning hook vise, line scissors, and split shot crimper for quick knot work and tackle adjustments.
The Gerber LineDriver packs six line-handling jobs into a 5-inch aluminum tool: a spinning hook vise, hook threader, eyelet clearing spike, scissor snips, split shot crimper and a tether ring. It suits anglers who want one pocket-sized tool for tying knots, rigging hooks and trimming line on the water. The tether ring lets it be clipped to a lanyard or vest so it stays within reach.
Best for
- Quick line cutting and knot tying on the water
- Anglers who change baits or lures frequently
