Inova Bait and Braid Scissors

Overview

The INOVA Bait & Braid Scissors are a purpose-built fishing scissor and rig-preparation tool designed for anglers who need a reliable way to cut line and prepare bait. Measuring 6.4 inches (approximately 16.3 cm) overall, they feature micro-serrated stainless-steel blades paired with soft TPR anti-slip handles.

The construction includes a heavy-duty pivot joint for a robust cutting action, and the whole tool is described as corrosion-resistant, making it suited to use around saltwater environments. This is MPN 200447, distinct from INOVA's separate Bait Assassin Scissors, which have a different specification and dimensions.

Built with practicality in mind, the scissors also include an integrated line notch and a hook-eye cleaning tool, giving them extra functionality beyond simple cutting for anglers who are making up rigs on the move.

Perfect For

These scissors are well suited to sea anglers working on shore or from a boat, where they're used for cutting braid, monofilament and fluorocarbon during rig construction. They're also useful for trimming bait elastic after securing bait to a hook, and for general bait preparation tasks.

Anglers making rigs at home or on the beach will find the micro-serrated blades particularly useful for gripping slippery braided line before the cut, reducing the tendency for it to slide along the blade. Whether you're preparing snoods, trimming leaders, or cutting rig-body material, this tool covers the core cutting tasks of sea-fishing rig making.

Technical Insight

The key to this pair of scissors is the micro-serrated stainless-steel blade edge. Rather than relying on two completely smooth cutting surfaces, the serrations hold slippery braided line in place as the blades close, producing a cleaner cut and preventing the line from slipping mid-cut.

The heavy-duty pivot joint is associated with improved strength and durability in use, while the TPR anti-slip handles give a secure grip even with wet hands or when working around bait. Combined with corrosion-resistant construction, these features make the scissors a practical everyday tool for the tackle box, whether fishing from the shore or from a boat.
