Why Every Match Angler Needs a Pair of Preston Innovations Rig Scissors

There are a handful of tools that every serious match angler carries without question — a good disgorger, a reliable plummet, and a sharp pair of rig scissors. If you're still making do with a penknife or your teeth (we've all been there), it's time to upgrade.

The Problem With Blunt Blades

Cutting braid, fluorocarbon, or fine mono with the wrong tool is a recipe for frustration. Blunt scissors crush the line rather than cut it cleanly, leaving frayed ends that weaken knots and make threading a needle eye almost impossible. Bankside, with cold hands and fish feeding, the last thing you need is a tool fighting against you.

What Makes Preston Innovations Rig Scissors Different

Preston Innovations have designed their Rig Scissors specifically for the demands of match fishing. The fine-pointed blades allow you to get into tight spaces — trimming a tag end flush to a knot, cutting between shot, or snipping braid without disturbing the rest of your rig. The blades are sharp enough to handle everything from light 0.08mm hooklinks to heavier mainlines and braid.

The compact, lightweight design means they slip easily into a rig wallet, tackle tray, or jacket pocket. You'll barely notice them until you need them — and then you'll wonder how you ever managed without them.

A Tool for Every Session

Whether you're fishing a commercial stillwater, a canal, or a river, rig scissors earn their place in your kit every single time. Tying up rigs the night before? Keep them on the desk. Setting up on the bank? Clip them to your apron or drop them in your side tray. They're one of those tools that once you have a dedicated pair, you'll never go back.
