i use a small pair of fiskar sissors that lock closed when not in use....they have grey handles...

I didn't know you needed special scissors. I use braid on most of my rods. I just stole a pair of my wifes scissors and they work fine.

I use a pair of Klein scissors designed for Cat5 wire installation, I got them at Home Depot in the electrical section

Bic lighter works like a champ!

+100000 basic ones from the school supplies work great

Lowes has a two pack of scissors that are cheap and very good, can't remember the brand but if you go there you will find them

I use nailclippers without any problems.

Get you a power zap. It is a worm minder.

Fiskars kid's scissors from Walmart work as good as anything I've found, they're like $2 a pair.

The guys using nail cutters in this thread, you realize this is braid we are talking about right?

I don't know what kind of nail cutters yall have but i've never had a quick clean cut with them for me, sure they "work" but don't snip right through clean like they do mono, for me anyway.

Back on topic, i used nail clippers for mono, and a pair of the culprit braid scissors for my braid.

+1 on the klein scissors they are awesome!! get them at home depot lowes does not sell them. like Bass_fan says they are used for cutting small diameter electrical wire so they are razor sharp. I have used them for two years and they still cut like new!

Rapala Combo works for me!![img]http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/public/...z_a1_LBPof8F8-A[/img]

fiskars

they sell them in the hobby section. I got a pair of the smaller sized. the longer the blade the worst at cutting.

Look for the scissors that have the serrated/ridged edges. Not the smooth blades. The smooth ones work at first but dull quick.
Just like the Guinso knives of old.
