A word of caution. Get a 6" section of a broom stick and keep it in the boat. When you get snagged wrap the line around the stick, NOT your hand. Braid will cut your hand right down to the bone. Don't ask me how I know.

I have my braid scissors attached with a length of para cord to my stick. Clippers don't work well on braid.

Braid scissors are a must. Also the scissors on a Swiss Army knife works well in a pinch

actually, SAW a huge crappie that defied imagination break my buds braid just this last week !
we were both in total disbelief it could happen and watched his float slowly swim back out to where he hooked it and slowly go under to never be seen again !
just in case you think it will never break , here comes me to say this about that , seen it happen before as well and it was a BLUEGILL that broke that braid and we know because my other bud snagged the braid after bud number 2 broke off ....
so right when you think you got bullet proof line and it can't EVER break and has to be cut , it is me sitting over here telling you it could happen ....fyi

I have had some breakoffs. Braid is not the best at being abrasion resistant either.

but to be sure if the jig is snagged it will NOT break off easily and you can use it as a tow rope in other situations too .....Originally Posted by DockShootinJack

Absolutely braid will break. Actually on a recent FISH, EAT, LIVE video they talk about it and the pro mentioned it was frayed and should be retied but Kirby didn’t and it broke when he hooked next fish….lol.actually, SAW a huge crappie that defied imagination break my buds braid just this last week !

The Cuda braid scissors mentioned in this linked thread work really good and are cheap at Walmart.

This is my Braid Stick. It takes about 5 minutes to make one or two.
The scissors are Repala brand. Found in a bucket on the counter of my local tackle shop, about $5 and worth every cent.
