The Snip offers three features I like. It cuts cleanly through braid, monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing lines so I can trim my knots neatly and quickly. It integrates a light for nighttime use. Finally, it’s fitted with a three-foot-long retractable cord so it’s always at the ready, but it can be stowed out of the way on your person or attached to your boat. $14.95; boomerangtool.com
