Much like pliers and forceps, nippers fall under the category of indispensable tools. With your nippers being the most used tool you have, why not invest in a pair that will last you hundreds of hours on the water to come? Sharp blades that cut through 100lb and 7X alike, or even braid and dacron, make sure you opt for something that does the job well, and be sure to secure it with a handy zinger to ensure your brand new nipper doesn't end up on the bottom of the river.
