Pitbull Tackle

The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 is purpose-built to do one thing exceptionally well: cut braided fishing line cleanly, precisely, and without frustration. Rated 10/10 in the Performance Category by Tackle Tour, these are the last line cutters you'll ever need.

The serrated blade design slices through braid effortlessly — no line tension required — delivering a clean, fray-free cut every time. No more mashing, kinking, or fraying around knots and connections. Whether you're rigging leaders, swivels, split rings, hooks, or lures, the Cutter 2.0 gives you surgical precision on every cut.

What's New in Version 2.0

The 2.0 adds two key upgrades over the original without changing the proven cutting edge design:

• Integrated Mono/Fluorocarbon Cutter — a dedicated cutting zone at the blade base preserves the serrated edge for braid, extending the life of the tool
• Lanyard Attachment — secure your cutter to a boat, backpack, rod, or yourself so it's always within reach

Key Features

• Serrated blade design — cuts braid, mono, and fluorocarbon cleanly
• No line tension required for a clean cut
• Spring-loaded handle for smooth, repeated cuts
• Locking clip for safe, secure storage
• High-quality stainless steel — corrosion resistant in freshwater and saltwater
• Lanyard attachment point for tethering
• Integrated mono/fluoro cutter to protect the serrated braid edge

Best For

• Techniques: Rigging leaders, tying knots, connecting swivels, split rings, hooks, and lures
• Line Types: Braided line, monofilament, fluorocarbon
• Environments: Freshwater and saltwater — stainless steel resists corrosion in both
• Anglers: Any angler who rigs their own tackle and wants a clean, reliable cut every time

Specifications

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.

The Pitbull Tackle Split Ring Pliers are a practical approach to a long sought after tool. Designed with functionality and user comfort in mind, Pitbull Tackle set out to improve the typical design of a split ring plier and give it better functionality.
