Quick take
A heavy-duty 7-inch cutter with corrosion-resistant blades for saltwater fishing and offshore tackle management.
The Rapala Salt Angler's 7-inch side cutter is a one-piece carbon steel tool with a nickel coating, meant for trimming line, leaders and light hooks on saltwater trips. Co-molded handles give a secure hold with wet hands, and it weighs about 0.6 pounds at 7 inches long. Rinse it after salt exposure, since it is plated rather than stainless.
