Nomad Hydra-X Bait Shears 7"

Built for offshore anglers who want fast, safe bait prep and clean cuts through tough bait and heavy line.

The Nomad Hydra-X 7" Bait Shears are designed for serious anglers who spend real time on the water and want a safer, more efficient way to prep bait, trim rigging, and cut heavy line without struggling. Whether you’re cutting strip baits for snapper, trimming squid, preparing slabs for reef species, or snipping thick mono and leader, these shears are built to do it cleanly and confidently.

The serrated marine-grade blades bite in and cut without slipping, making them far more reliable than standard scissors when hands are wet, slimy, or you’re working fast during a hot bite window. A PTFE Teflon anti-corrosion coating keeps the action smooth and helps protect against rust in harsh saltwater conditions.

For speed and safety, the Hydra-X Shears feature a spring-loaded design for quick one-handed operation, plus a locking trigger that keeps the blades secured when stored in a tackle bag or on deck. Add the MAX GRIP+ handles and lanyard hole, and you’ve got a purpose-built fishing tool that stays in your hand, stays on your boat, and stays ready.

If you want cleaner bait cuts, quicker rigging, and less mess on the water, the Hydra-X 7" Bait Shears are a tool you’ll use every trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of bait are these best for?
They’re ideal for squid, pilchards, strip baits, fish fillets, mullet, bonito slabs, and other tough bait where standard scissors can slip or struggle.

Can these shears cut heavy leader and mono?
Yes. The serrated blades and strong build make them effective for thick mono, leader, and heavy line trimming during rigging.

Are they safe to store in a tackle bag?
Yes. The locking trigger keeps the blades closed, making them far safer than standard shears when stored in a bag or boat compartment.

Do I still need braid scissors if I have these?
If you fish braid regularly, dedicated braid scissors are still useful for fine, ultra-clean cuts. But for bait prep and heavier rigging, these are the better tool.
