"The Last Line Cutters You'll Ever Need...Period"

Thus reads an advertisement I saw for the Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutters 2.0 (see photo left), which appeared in the latest issue of Jay Kumar's BassBlaster. It doesn't matter if you're talking monofilament, fluorocarbon or braid. These line cutters are advertised to be the most precise and efficient cutters on the market. They earned 10/10 in the performance category on Tackle Tour's Review of the product.

Many anglers see any regular pair of line-cutting scissors and assume they'll do just fine, but that's often not the case. Too many times, those same anglers end up plagued by the frustration of dealing with braided lines that have a tendency to kink and fray around each cut, especially in tight areas around knots and connections.

Those troubles allegedly are a thing of the past with the Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutters 2.0. Their serrated-edge design was created to slice through braid effortlessly, keeping a clean, fray-less edge on each cut of braid, with no tension applied to the line.

Gone are the days of your old cutters mashing the braid several times before finally slicing through it. With these braided-line cutters, you'll be able to make smooth connections to leaders, swivels, split rings, hooks, lures, etc.

All sorts of features have been included with these cutters to create the simplest, most efficient cutting tool on the market. Their spring-loaded handle allows for smooth repeated cuts, while the locking clip lets any angler store the cutters safely and securely. In addition, these cutters are engineered with high-quality stainless steel, which delivers superb corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater.

This version 2.0 of the Pitbull Cutters offers more functionality than its predecessor. The cutting edges and overall design of the original product remains unchanged, but an integrated monofilament/fluorocarbon cutter was added at the base of the cutting blades, as well as a lanyard attachment for safely securing your cutters to a boat, backpack, line counter, or even yourself.

By adding the mono/fluoro cutting area on each blade, the longevity of each cutter is greatly increased, as repeated cuts with non-braided lines over time will dull the serrated cutting edge and diminish the effectiveness of the blades.

I personally cannot offer an endorsement for this product because I simply never have used it. However, I can and do have nothing but good things to say about these titanium-bonded, stainless-steel Cuda Micro Scissors with oversize loops and the Cuda scale-pattern grip for easy and comfortable cutting.

This scale pattern is important as it connects the tools to the fast and fierce ways of the barracuda and also provides an incredibly secure and comfortable grip in all environments and conditions.

Titanium-bonded means they're not painted or plated but have an application of a unique formulation of titanium, chromium and nitride to the cutting blades that actually penetrates and treats the metal to create a permanent bond. This patented process provides corrosion and adhesive resistance, and itself makes the stainless steel 3x harder than untreated stainless, providing a blade that stays sharper longer.

Cuda fishing products are built for the ultimate in fresh and saltwater fishing and will continue to perform over time. They're designed by professionals and thoroughly tested, providing the highest quality and reliability.

Cuda Micro Scissors also come with dual serrated blades that, like the Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutters, cuts braided, mono and fluorocarbon lines with ease. More importantly, the Cudas come with a lifetime warranty.

I've had two pair of them for about two years now, and they still cut as good as they did the first time I ever used them.
