2-in-1 fly fishing tool combining line nipper and knot tyer with 24 in retractable stainless cord.
A two-in-one fly fishing tool that pairs a line nipper and knot tyer with a retractable zinger on a 24-inch steel cord. A rotating clip and a D-ring let you attach it to a vest, pack or belt so it stays within reach while you rig. The small black version combines nylon and stainless steel and works in freshwater and saltwater. It suits fly anglers going after bass and trout.
