Abel Nipper – Native Rainbow
Precision meets personality in the Abel Nipper – Native Rainbow. Featuring a vibrant Native Rainbow graphic over Abel’s signature machined aluminum body, this fully customizable tool delivers unmatched performance with unmistakable style.
Built from 6061-T6 machined aluminum and finished with Type II anodizing, the Abel Nipper is engineered for durability on the water. The new magnetic hook-threading groove securely holds your hook in place, making fine tippet threading faster and far less frustrating. Dual stainless steel hook-eye cleaners gets the glue out of your flies eyes, while the user-replaceable cutter and anvil jaws ensure consistently sharp, clean cuts—from delicate 8X tippet to heavy braid.
Rare earth magnets provide smooth, reliable spring action without mechanical wear points. Compact, lightweight, and built to last, this is the tool you’ll reach for every time you retie.
The Native Rainbow finish adds a bold, fish-forward aesthetic that stands out on your vest, pack, or lanyard—making it not only a trusted piece of gear, but a statement piece as well.
Durable. Custom. Made to fish.
