Dr. Slick XBC Mitten Scissor Clamp 5-Inch Red – Straight Jaw

Meet a versatile, all-in-one clamp for streamside tasks

The Dr. Slick XBC Mitten Scissor Clamp brings together rugged build, clever design, and bold color in a tool you may reach for first. There are no finger loops here — simply squeeze the clamp through the ratchets to release, and squeeze again to lock for a secure grip. It’s crafted for anglers who want a straightforward, tool-forward option that adapts to real-world tasks on or near the water.

Built with a straight jaw that is half smooth and half cross hatch, this clamp pairs grip with finesse. A serrated scissor sits behind the jaws, ready to cut tippet or leader material, trim flies streamside, or even pop open a stubborn bag of snacks during a long day outdoors. The jaw design helps you manage delicate lines without compromising control, while the integrated hook eye cleaning pin keeps your rig tidy between uses.

Key features at a glance:

• Straight jaw with half smooth and half cross hatch sections for precise grip
• Serrated scissors mounted behind the jaws for quick cuts
• Hook eye cleaning pin integrated in the jaw
• Made from 410 Japanese stainless steel for lasting durability
• Available in five vibrant colors to match your style

Operation is refreshingly simple: there are no finger loops. Squeeze the clamp all the way through the ratchets to release, then squeeze until the ratchets lock to close. Dual self-opening springs provide dependable opening and closing action, and the full-swivel bungee lanyard keeps the tool within reach without snagging on gear. These thoughtful details make the XBC clamp a practical companion from the first cast to the last light of day.

In real-world use, you may notice a quick, clean tip-cutting option, convenient streamside maintenance, and a reliable tool that stays close at hand when you need it. While results vary by situation, many anglers appreciate the XBC as a dependable alternative to traditional loop-and-ratchet clamps, especially when a simple, robust design is preferable. Make it your main squeeze for everyday tasks on the water and beyond.
