Utilizing Tungsten Carbide cutters in a side-cutting position makes reliable cuts through all fishing line materials easier than ever. Gripping grooves added to the jaw tips easily grasp knot tag ends for ideal rigging. The I-Beam arms are crafted from 6061-T6 Aluminum and protected with Type II anodize, and the misted finish gives extra texture, helping to keep Hatch Nomad 2 Fishing Pliers from slipping out of wet hands.
