Nice review. A quick tip. When using the fly threader, place the fly so the hook is facing the hinge end of the nipper rather than the cutter end. Works even better that way.
I thought the price ridiculous. However, and it's a point you did not make, is that sports who tie their own leaders will love the nipper. The cheap ones go dull in half a season. When they do, you have to press mighty hard to cut the thicker strands of mono or maxima. The nipper will made leader building far easier and will last much longer in keeping its sharpness.
Yeah, but how good are the line nippers. Not all nippers are made equal. Forget the other features, how about show casing how the nippers work cutting different types of line.
Howdy Brian, great point about showcasing the nippers cutting ability. All nippers are not created equally, which is one of the reasons why we wanted to showcase the magnetic features that the Pro Nipper has as well as the fly threader. There aren't many other nippers that have that built in... We can assure you that the Pro Nippers work great with a wide range of tippet material, braid, or even thick flouro's. The best part is, even if the eventually went dull over time/use, they offer a replacement process to make sure you continue to get the most out of your product.
