Hareline Super Flush Cutter Pliers with Wire Catcher

What it is

Hareline Super Flush Cutter Pliers with Wire Catcher are spring-loaded flush cutters built from carbon steel with a black oxide, rust-resistant finish. The jaws come to an extra-fine tip for getting into tight spots, and the comfort grips keep them steady in hand. The wire-catcher jaw is there to trap the little cut-off piece so it doesn’t launch across the bench.

What to tie with it

Use these at the vise for clean, tight cuts when you’re trimming small hardware and plastics. They’re right at home snipping bead chain eyes to length and clipping EP-style plastic eye shafts, especially when you need the cut to be close and neat. That catcher is also handy when you’re trimming short bits of wire where you don’t want the offcut pinging into your materials or your face.

Flies and the fish they're for

This tool shows up most in streamer and saltwater-style tying where you’re adding eyes and other small components. When you’re building baitfish patterns for species like largemouth and smallmouth bass in ponds and rivers, or redfish and striped bass in the salt, it’s common to need quick, flush cuts on eyes and plastic parts at the bench.
