Gerber Freehander Fishing Line Management Tool

Gerber took the familiar design of the line nipper and elevated it, honing in on the problem areas that anglers face. The FreeHander is not only a nipper, but also a tool that can manage line or lure exchange in real-time. The genius of the design centers around SuperVise Tech, a pivoting retention clip that cinches line during lure exchange. No more flailing line or lures lost to the drink, just an easy-to-operate line vise that acts as an additional hand. A tether point is built into the pivoting line cutter that allows the angler to swivel the tool in any direction to get into tight spots with minimal strain.Inclement weather isn’t anything new for anglers, freezing temps and wet conditions can be par for the course. What isn’t the norm is an upgrade that the FreeHander boasts: a wide paddle design for maximum contact between the angler and the tool. The result is thoughtful surfacing that plays to the need for control when working with small lures, thin line and unpredictable conditions. To ensure optimal performance, rinse your tool with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.Renowned as a master of knives and tools, Gerber’s problem-solving, life-saving products are designed with the unique needs of specific activities in mind.
