The Simms Freestone Nipper is made for fly anglers who want a compact, straightforward tool for cleanly trimming nylon and tippet throughout a session.
Its injection-moulded nylon body houses a stainless steel cutting blade. The springless construction reduces moving parts and supports consistent long-term use, while the compact shape makes the nipper quick to handle when adjusting leaders or changing tippet.
A built-in attachment point lets you secure it to a lanyard, zinger or other fishing gear so it stays within easy reach. The Freestone Nipper is made in the USA.
It is not designed to cut braided line and is intended primarily for nylon and fly-fishing leader materials.
