My fishing first aid kit has the essentials: small, medium, and large Band-Aid‘s; gauge pads; water proof tape; antibiotic cream; Aleve; and a pair of Knipex mini bolt cutters. Why? Because in the unfortunate event of a self hooking, the fastest way separate the lure or jig from the hook is to cut the hardware!
The Knipex mini bolt cutter is the right tool for this job. The Knipex mini bolt cutters are made in Germany with high quality standards. At only 8.3 inches length and only weighs 13.6 ounces, these cutters have some serious cutting power. Although I take all the precautions, I never go on a fishing trip without my Knipex mini bolt cutters!
