Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0

- For Cutting Braided Fishing Line, Monofilament, and Flourocarbon -

These cutters are designed to do one thing exceptionally well; cut braided line. These are the last line cutters you will ever need, period.

Meticulously designed and tested for surgical precision, these braided line cutters are the most precise and efficient cutters on the market. The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 was originally designed to be the best braid cutter on the market, earning 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 just not the case. So many anglers have been plagued by frustration while dealing with braided lines as they have a tendency to kink and fray around each cut, especially in tight areas around knots and connections. Those troubles are a thing of the past as the Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 offers unparalleled cutting ability. The 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. The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 requires NO line tension while cutting braid giving you the cleanest and most precise cut the first time. With these braided line cutters you'll be able to produce 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. The spring loaded handle allows for smooth repeated cuts while the locking clip lets any angler store the cutters safely and securely. In addition to all of these features these cutters are engineered with high-quality stainless steel which delivers superb corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater.

The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 offers even more functionality than it's predecessor. The cutting edges and overall design of the cutter remains completely unchanged, but an integrated Monofilament/Flourocarbon Cutter was added at the base of the cutting blades as well as a lanyard attachment for safely securing your cutters. By adding the mono/flouro 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. The lanyard attachment is also a new addition as it allows any user to secure their cutter to a boat, backpack, line counter, or even themselves.

If you need a cover for your spinning, conventional, or bait casting reel, the Shimano Reel Cover fit's all Shimano reels but also other brands as well.  It's made of neoprene material which will protect your reel from scratches and blemishes.  

The padding is sufficient enough to protect it but thin enough so that it's not bulky.  It attaches with a premium velcro strap and has vented holes to allow for moisture to escape.

As with all the models, they can be attached to your reel and remain on the rod.  The spinning version actually wraps around the rod keeping it and your reel secure and safe.  These fit both left and right hand reels but the logo may be upside down on left handed reels.  Shimano puts a "1" on the left hand reels model number to indicate they are left handed.  For example, the right hand is a Tranx 400 is left hand and the 401. Wondering what size you need for your reel, check out the information below.

The medium round cover will fit Shimano 300 size and 400 size Curado and Tranx reels but it will be loose fitting.  As of February 2024, Shimano doesn't make a cover to fit these reels tightly.

Features:

Stick Jacket Casting rod sleeves work great for protecting your rod from scratches, broken guides, and tangles.  The sleeve slips over your rod with ease and keeps the line from catching on other rods.  

It acts like a trap and hold tight to the rod until you want to take it off.  The brass grommet on the end allows you to hang it up on the wall without falling out (without the reel.)  

The jacket falls short of covering the entire rod, it usually stops short enough to have a lure tied on and attached to the hook keeper without hanging up.  We recommend not putting a lure on the guides, this will result in snagging on the Stick Jacket.

For rods up to 7-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  Mainly freshwater rods or saltwater inshore rods.

Phenix Neoprene Casting Reel Covers Fit Guide:

The Pitbull Tackle Heavy Duty Split Ring Plier offers the same great performance as our standard Split Ring Plier but with a newly redesigned jaw specifically made for opening stronger split rings. Featuring a Locking-Jaw design to keep the strongest split rings firmly in place. The angle is created in such a way where any user can open up 300lb split rings with ease. When rigging for heavy fish you need a tool that can stand up to the challenge, and this split ring plier delivers.

What sets these pliers apart from the rest is a double lock head design. This feature holds the split ring firmly in place and does not allow it to slip out of the pliers grip. Traditionally a split ring plier when closed will hold the split ring in place, however the split ring can rotate up and down within the pliers grip. The double lock design on the Pitbull Tackle Heavy Duty Split Ring Plier grabs and holds split rings in place, keeping them perpendicular to the pliers at all times. This ensures a steady and consistent angle every time, allowing for easier placement or removal of hooks and lures. Once in your hand you can feel the pliers open and lock in the split rings with ease.

Pitbull Tackle also wanted to give the user an improvement on traditional thinner handles and longer bulkier designs. The handle was made thicker, designed to naturally fit into the palm of your hand. Next, a non-slip material was chosen to give the user superb grip, and a bright color choice was chosen to make the pliers easily visible to the user. These pliers are lightweight and can easily fit in your pocket or tool holder, yet are constructed with corrosion resistant stainless steel to give the user both durability and functionality.

Mend it glue is the best soft bait glue ever made and dries soft, clear and very strong in minutes. Mend it repairs perfectly any soft plastic baits, for instance oily hand-poured worms to salty Senkos, tubes, creatures and swimbaits. Mend it won't stick to your fingers, clothing or boat carpet like other products, so you can safely use it anywhere.

Mend-it comes in a glass bottle with a brush applicator that makes repairs easy. Mend-it allows you to customize your soft baits and also works great for gluing and over-coating swimbait eyes. Watch Mend It's video and see how easy it is to use.

The Rapala Super Line Scissors are designed with sharp serrated cutting edge and oversized finger and thumb holes, these scissors actually grip and hold braided line for easy non-slip cutting.  They are great all around scissors that every boat and shore angler should have.  No matter where the Tackle Express crew fishes, we have a pair of these with us.

The Stick Jacket XL Casting model fits rods up to 8-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  We like these sleeves because they are easy to put on and take off, protect the rod and guides, and can be color coordinated so you know which rod is which.  The grommet at the tip allows you to hang your rod, the sleeve acts like a finger trap.  

All the covers are designed to stop short of the reel and in most cases the hook holder.  That way you can have a bait or lure tied on and it won't get caught in the sleeve.  We don't recommend putting the hook on the guides, you'll have a heck of a time getting it off if the hook gets in the sleeve.
