The Hatch Nipper 3 | Rust brings a limited edition finish to one of Hatch’s most refined fly fishing tools. Built with a new ergonomic shape, 6061-T6 aluminum construction, Type II anodizing, and a misted texture for improved grip, this nipper delivers precise control for clean cuts on fine tippet and heavier fluorocarbon tag ends.
The updated Nipper 3 is designed to feel natural in hand, giving anglers better control while rigging on the water. A newly designed 302 stainless steel torsion spring uses a compact single-wrap design to improve durability and extend service life over previous models.
Hatch’s tungsten carbide cutters are engineered for abrasion resistance and reliable cutting performance through mono and fluorocarbon materials. The Nipper 3 also includes a needle post sized for clearing hook eyelets, even on smaller flies, and comes complete with a custom Hatch lanyard.
