The Accurate Offshore Cutters/Pliers are made from aircraft-grade aluminum and will cut virtually all sizes of monofilament line and high-tech braided lines. The 7-inch model, at 4.8 ounces, is ideal for cutting all sizes of nylon monofilament, plus braided lines and light wire. The 8-inch model, at 5.6 ounces, has greater cutting power and is well suited for mono and all braided lines from micros to super sizes. Made to last a lifetime, both models have been shop-tested to hold sharpness after hundreds of cuts, leaving no frayed ends in braids down to as thin and light as 30-pound test. Self-coiling lanyard and protective Cordura sheath optional.
