So they're obviously not any kind of special scissors. How do they hold up to being out in the weather?

Got a picture or a link to them somewhere?

$2.49, work as good as any other I have used.   I have used one of the pairs I have now for a year or two.  Even if they wear out after a year your only talking about $2.49 :)

Just a couple of specialized setups with 15 or 17 lb floro. All the rest are 30, 50 and 65lb braid.  If you aren't using braid where I fish, you are going home whipped and unhappy.   (yes)

I hear ya there for sure.

I do very little fishing in cover heavy enough to require braid. I'm not saying I shouldn't be using it in some situations, but it's definitely not required.

I use braid with floro leader on all my spinning reels (10# to 8#). Braid is also used on my carolina rig and the rod I use with jigging spoons. All the rest are either strait mono or floro on the bait casters.

Back when I used Berkley Fire Line, I was still using spinning reels that didn't have instant anti-reverse. I eventually broke the anti-reverse mechanism right off with hook sets  (fp)

Every time I'd set the hook, the spool would slam 180 degrees backwards. My reels back then just weren't made to handle that ind of a beating  (giggle)

@JackJ I just checked the link you posted and found some of these on sale (clearance) for $1.98! I think I will buy a few pairs of them!

Are those the same ones you like to use?

For sure. And they even had a small stone on them to sharpen hooks.  :thumbup:

Probably the best deal on a fishing accessory in a long time!

I personally just use one of my pocket knives. Easier to keep up with and I don't have to bend over to get it. It's always in my pocket. (giggle)

These look similar to the Rapala ones, but with the little sharpening stone, a little better, and SS too. I have problems w/ draw partners 'accidentally' getting them in their tackle bag at the end of a TX, so I'm not as worried at this price.

Thanks for the heads up on these!

@frugalangler You're welcome! It's a deal that's too good to pass up!  :nod:

@transamz9 I think I'd rather squat or bend over to grab something than to dig in my pocket to get it. I guess it's just a personal preference. But I also like cutting braid better with scissors than with a knife. Again, just a personal preference.

The knife I'm referring to is a folding razor that can be worked with one hand and replaceable blade. I've tried the scissors and  to be honest I'm not very organized  while out one the water so by the time I find where I threw them I have my bait back in the water after using my knife. Lol
