Constructed of lightweight aluminum, housed in a durable rubber sheath and secured with a coated steel-core tether, the entire system can withstand salt, neglect, heavy use and abuse. The built-in cutter will handle whatever you throw at it, and truly makes these the only tool that is necessary for a big day of chasing big predators. Apex tools were designed with the best fresh and salt water guides on earth to handle the most demanding fish and fisheries out there.
