I saw this suggested on another forum for cutting braid.

Looks like it might be a good idea.

I have a pair of these in each of my boats, but as often as not I just slide the line over a sharp knife blade. Mine are the older ones that do not have the notch for mono.

My boat, she has been renamed. This bitch will no longer be referred to by a cute name like "The Antique Kitten." Hence forth she shall be referred to only as:

The Black Cat,
Don't cross my path.

The motor shall hence forth be called: Lucky 13

I just use an all weather lighter. If you burn it just right, it leaves a tiny little ball on the end that is almost guaranteed to keep your knot from slipping.
A day on the river just drifting and pitching, canoe style... could there be a better way.

Biggest Bass - How I Caught It: 24" bass, caught near the Laguna Dam one afternoon in Spring. Didn't have a weight scale, but it was around 9-10 pounds. Caught it on a spinning rod and reel, with a Panther Martin swim bait.
