Inova Bait & Braid Scissors

The Inova Bait & Braid Scissors are an essential, multi-purpose tool designed specifically to satisfy the harsh demands of modern sea, coarse, and predator angling. Engineered with precision micro-serrated stainless steel blades, these 6.4 scissors tackle limp high-spec braided lines, tough monofilament, heavy fluorocarbon, and slippery baits with effortless ease.Every angler knows the frustration of standard scissors sliding along micro-braids without cutting. Inova resolves this by integrating ultra-sharp micro-serrations directly into the blade edge to grip smooth materials firmly before slicing cleanly throughno frayed ends or repeated gnawing required. Built around a robust, heavy-duty pivot joint and finished with ergonomically molded TPR soft-grip anti-slip handles, they ensure maximum cutting force and comfortable operation even with cold, wet, or bait-covered hands.Beyond standard trimming duties, this versatile tool features a built-in line notch for controlled snips under tension and a designated hook eye cleaning point to quickly clear dried paint, varnish, or debris from hook eyes and rig components. Whether you are whipping delicate baits with bait elastic on a freezing beach, tailoring complex trace setups on a charter boat, or tying up fine rig leads at home, these scissors deliver long-lasting, corrosion-resistant reliability season after season.

Technical Specifications

Gerrys Pro Tip: When working with ultra-fine or limp 8-carrier PE braids, keep the line taut with one hand and cut close to the pivot joint. The combination of tension and Inovas micro-serrations guarantees an ultra-clean, square-off edge every single time, making threading through narrow rig beads, crimps, and hook eyes hassle-free.

Key Applications & Where to Use

• Beach & Rock Shore Fishing: Perfect for snipping heavy shockleaders, trimming bait elastic cleanly when tying squid or mackerel wraps, and unblocking painted shore hooks in cold, wet coastal environments.
• Boat & Deepwater Angling: Built tough enough to slice through heavy-gauge monofilament, thick trace material, and slippery bait fish (like sandeels or herring) directly on the deck without slipping.
• Carp & Coarse Rig Building: Essential for clean, un-frayed tags on fine coated braid hooklinks, PVA string, and precision leader prep at the bivvy table.
• Predator & Pike Tackle Setup: Excellent for controlling tough wire rig tubing, heavy fluorocarbon trace line, and clearing lacquer out of large pike treble hook eyes.
