There was a post here a coupla weeks back where someone was asking if it was worth spending the extra $$$$ to buy Knipex cutters rather than cheapo side cutters for musky fishing.
This was the EXACT scenario I used to explain why Knipex cutters are worth their weight in gold. You get hung up on a large musky with a couple big trebles buried in your hand and if your Mickey Mouse cutters won't work, your in HUGE trouble, specially if your alone in the boat.
If your fishing for muskies, BUY THE PROPER CUTTERS.
Kudos to you Bruce for helping those boys out !!
