Can anyone recommend some kind of cutter that will cut cleanly through braid and not chew it up? Toenail clippers.

The KVD plyers they have at Walmart do a great job on braid.

Go to academy to the reel bar, they usually have tubs up there of random cheap things. about 2 years ago I bought some CHEAP tournament choice scissors out of one of those bins. Works like a charm on all line types and still have it today.

I have a pair of scissors I bought in the tool department at Home Depot, I think I paid 18.00, they have no problem cutting braid.

I stole a pair of the plain orange handled scissors out of the wife's craft box many years ago, they worked so well I stole the replacement set she bought and now have a pair of them hanging off each side of the console in my boat. I have cut braid and mono with them for years now, no need to reinvent the wheel to cut string.

What ever you use, if you are like me buy two, because you will probably lose one.
