EGO Fishing offers essential problem-solving products for every angler.
Whether you’re fishing from a local dock or pier, the bank, or hitting big waters in a bass, crappie, or walleye boat, preparation is part of the process. EGO Fishing has the complete line of essential tools you’ll need.
Of course, you need rod(s) and reel(s), tackle, bait – and gas, charged batteries, etc., if you’re fishing from a boat, but when it comes to organized and efficient fishing anywhere, the devil is in the details. Like remembering to bring braid cutters, pliers to remove metal from maws, a scale/measuring tape to validate new personal bests, and a quality fillet knife for those “catch & cook” outings.
Here are several affordable, yet quality accessories from Idaho-based fishing equipment manufacturer, EGO Fishing, a company renowned for their superb, hook-defying landing nets, bait containers, and a bunch of other cool products. Given the widespread use of superline for various techniques and species, a braid cutter needs to be in every angler’s survival kit. Sure, you can use a knife in a pinch, but it’s hard to beat a dedicated tool for the job—especially one with a split ring jaw tip to help replace old treble hooks on crankbaits and such. Ultimately, the inexpensive EGO Line Cutter is a compact scissor tool designed to cut through some of the toughest braided lines on the market.
