I just watched the video of the guy getting a hook in his hand when handling a musky in a kayak. I dont want to be caught in the same posistion without hookcutters so i need some. Anybody have any for sale. I saw the X tractors on a show and they looked promising for a dual purpose tool. Thanks chris Z

A bolt cutters is a standard tool to have for all muskie fishermen. Important for both the fish and the fishermen. Get a knipex, worth every penny.

Get the Kippex compounding leverage cutters. They are THE tool for cutting hooks. You can cut 4X 7/0's with one hand.
