3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Grip the hook, not the line. Take hold of an accessible part of the hook and work it back along its entry path instead of pulling on the leader.
2. Test the cut first. Try a spare piece of your line before relying on the scissors for close knot trimming, especially with braid.
3. Dry before storage. Rinse away salt and grit, then dry the jaws, scissors and hinge before putting the tool back in your tackle bag.
