My husband and his fishing buddy use theirs all the time. And, not just for fishing....hubby has to pack & unpack boxes for his business, and he says this is a great tape cutter!

Band is a little slick and doesn't hold it tight enough in place while cutting line

I waited before buying this. I use a lot of braid with crap scissors and have to put a lot of tension on the line and do a bunch of snips to get through the line. I don't like the feeling of rings, but I watched a bunch of YouTube videos about this and one of the guy puts it on his rod. I tried that and it didn't really work on the smooth part of it but I wrapped it around the base grip on my baitcaster. I noticed it the first couple of casts but not I don't even notice it's there anymore.

It really is super easy. I just slide a line through either side and it's an instant cut. There is not real force needed to have it slice it. It's virtually impossible to get any part of your body (other than hair) in here too so no worries of cutting yourself on it, ever. It's not GREAT with cutting knots in the line but it gets close enough that I can then pull the knot from the loop. But any changed to make that happen might compromise it's safety so I'm cool with working around it. Bought a 2nd one so I have one on the end of each rod.

Put on handle of tackle box and it works great. Cuts mono and braid with ease. After tying a hook or lure run the tag line through the cutter and it leaves just enough tag line so the knot won't unravel.

Purchased as a gift and he says he likes it and finds it handy to have in his tackle box.
