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

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

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.

Protect your fishing rod with the Stick Jacket Spinning model.  Stick Jacket has many different sizes and colors and this one protects your spinning rod.  The diameter will go over the larger guides of a spinning rod but still protects both the blank and the guides from damage and scratches.  It's easy to take off and put one and acts like a finger trap.  With the many colors, you can customize your rods, for instance drop shot could be blue and ned rig could be yellow.  Protect your investment and get one today.

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 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.

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 used in the factory for all our products, from our tiny #2 fish rings, right through to the large #7xx (95kg) fish rings. These fish ring pliers are also fine to use on any other commercially available split rings in the market.

Made out of hardened tool steel, the useful life of the product outdoors will be extended by rinsing in fresh water if it has been immersed in salt water, and applying a light coating of spray oil to the steel parts.

We have opted for M3.5 Stainless Steel Quicklinks rather than the normal carabiner as these have less areas for sand, grit and dirt to affect the functionality of the connection.

The clear TPU coil is Ø4mm and makes every effort to return to its original shape unlike some of the 1mm to 2mm diameter coils. The Tether has a Stainless Steel cable coated in either clear blue or clear black Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer to form a Ø4mm Coil Tether. It's perfectly suited for all our Toit 6" Pliers, our Toit Leather Sheath and our Toit Pliers Holders.

The Lead Masters Urethane Rod Holder is very long lasting and durable.  It's perfect for storing rods on boats, in the garage, or wherever you want to put them.  There is a hole through the base so it can be screwed to just about anything.  

The more the screw is tightened, the more the holder grabs the rod.  This allows you to adjust the tension in case you want it be removed easily or have it be extremely secure.
