Sharp Scissors That Disappear When Stowed
Full-size scissors are great at the rigging bench but bulky on the water. The Rapala EZ Stow folds down small enough to disappear into a PFD pocket or clip inside a tackle tray. When you need a cut, the spring-loaded action opens them instantly.
The retractable blade cover is a smart touch. No more reaching into a pocket and finding a bare blade with your fingertips. The cover slides back when you open the scissors and protects the edge when folded.

Compact Folding Design
The EZ Stow folds to a fraction of its open size. Slides into PFD pockets, tackle boxes, and shirt pockets without snagging or taking up space you need for other gear.
Spring-Loaded Blades
Spring action opens the blades automatically so you can cut with one hand. Squeeze to cut, release to open. Fast, simple, and practical when your other hand is holding a fish or rod.
Retractable Blade Cover
The blade cover slides over the cutting edges when the scissors are folded. Protects the edge from dulling and protects your fingers from the edge. A safety feature that also extends blade life.
How to Use Rapala EZ Stow Line Scissors
1. Unfold the scissors from the stowed position
2. Slide back the retractable blade cover
3. Squeeze the spring-loaded handles to cut line
4. Release pressure to let the blades spring open
5. Slide the blade cover back over the edges when done
6. Fold and stow in your pocket or tackle bag

Will these cut braid cleanly? +
Yes. The blades are sharp enough for braid, mono, and fluorocarbon. For heavy cutting tasks, pair with Rapala Salt Anglers Pliers that have a built-in wire cutter.
How small do they fold? +
Small enough for a PFD pocket or the smallest compartment in your tackle bag. The folding design and blade cover keep them safe and compact.
Are these better than nail clippers for line? +
Significantly better. Scissors provide a clean shear cut that does not crush the line the way clippers can. The Rapala Fishing Clipper is another good compact option.
Can I use these for rigging? +
For light rigging work like trimming tag ends, they are great. For heavier tasks like cutting leader material, a dedicated tool like the Rapala Side Cutter is a better fit.
What other Rapala tools go well with these? +
The Performance Tool Combo includes pliers, scissors, and a gripper. Or build your own kit from our tools collection.
Do these have a lanyard attachment? +
Check the product for a lanyard hole or loop. If not, the compact folding design with blade cover means they are safe to carry loose in a pocket.
