Gear Gerber Freehander Fishing Line Management Tool

Don't waste your money or time you'll be disappointed.

The ad and video convinced me to buy this line clipper. It’s nicely designed but a bit bulky and heavy. It swings on my zinger as I walk. Need to tuck it away. I’m not happy how it cuts. Difficulty with small tippet line. Not sure why as the blades are perfectly aligned. The cutters blades don’t seem hard enough. I’m afraid to get too close to the hook eye in case I accidentally cut into it. My cheap pair of nail clippers does a better job. I was hoping this was THE cutters but disappointed.

To big, to heavy to hang off your jacket. The snips are to big to snip small flies. Feels like a tool for the Army rather than for fly fishing.

As an avid fly fishing guy and river steelhead/salmon guy, I think this line cutter or nail knippers are a little pricey for what it does. There really isn’t that much added benefit I’ve significantly noticed. I think you can find something cheaper with still good quality. The build of this though is pretty durable and I think the fact they made these to change out the sharpened cutters is pretty cool.

Very nice tool for fly tying but seems a little chincy for the money spent
