Nomad Hydra-X Side Cutter 6.3"

Built for offshore anglers who need clean, powerful cuts through mono, wire and heavy rigging materials without hesitation.

The Nomad Hydra-X 6.3" Side Cutter is a serious cutting tool designed for anglers who build strong rigs and fish hard. When you’re trimming heavy leader, cutting tag ends clean, or working with wire and tough mono, you need cutters that don’t flex, slip, or blunt after a few sessions.

This model features forged stainless jaws paired with 50CRV high-strength steel for maximum cutting power and long-term durability. The result is a cutter that bites hard and slices cleanly, helping you create neater knots, tighter crimps, and more reliable connections when targeting hard-fighting offshore species.

To handle Australia’s harsh saltwater environment, the Hydra-X Side Cutter is finished with a PTFE Teflon anti-corrosion coating. This improves smoothness through the cut, protects against rust, and keeps the tool operating cleanly after repeated exposure on deck.

The 6.3-inch size gives you extra leverage for tougher materials, while the ergonomic trigger handle and MAX GRIP+ non-slip grips provide confident control even with wet hands. It’s the kind of tool you reach for when you want the job done properly, quickly, and with zero compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these cutters handle wire leader?
Yes. The forged stainless jaws and 50CRV steel construction are designed to cut wire, heavy mono and tough tag ends cleanly.

Are these better than standard braid scissors?
Yes, for heavy rigging. Scissors are ideal for braid and light mono, but side cutters give you far more leverage and cutting strength for thick leader and wire.

Will they rust in saltwater conditions?
They’re built specifically for saltwater use, with a PTFE Teflon anti-corrosion coating. A quick rinse after use will keep them performing at their best.

What type of fishing are these best suited to?
They’re ideal for offshore and heavy tackle applications such as tuna, marlin, kingfish, reef fishing and any rigging where strong leader or wire is used.
