Quality item, but still struggles with certain braids....

Its definitely the best nipper you can get. I've tried them all. Unfortunately it still struggles to cut certain braids. I've tried cutting Jerry Brown and some J-Braid lines and I would still need to pull on the line while pressing down hard on the nipper in order to get it to cut. It does cut leader line flawlessly which is what I use it for anyways. I have used other brands that struggle to cut leader line but this one does that job great.
Pros
  • -High Quality
  • -Best cutters on the market.
Cons
  • -Struggles to cut certain braids (like all other nippers I have tried).

  • Cuts very well
Cons
  • Expensive

If you use braided fishing line, you can't beat the Abel nippers. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but they work well and they sure beat carrying a pair of scissors around.

Just be sure to put them on a lanyard of some sort to prevent loss. BTW....the Abel nippers make a great gift idea!
Pros
  • Strong and effective for their task. Blades are replaceable, should you ever get to that point.
