Advantages and key features

The DVX ST stands out for its versatility and reliability. Its wide opening guarantees a clean cut without crushing the line, minimizing fray and facilitating knot finishing. The integrated eye cleaner saves time when the hook eye is obstructed by varnish or debris, improving tying flow and speed at the water. The hook sharpener preserves an optimal point, ensuring effective hookups and fewer lost fish. The line connector tool simplifies making neat junctions between fly line and leader, for a discreet presentation and more stable casts. Compact and sturdy, it belongs in every fly angler's toolkit, from beginner to expert.

Usage tips

For a clean cut, slightly tension the line and position it in the wide opening before cutting. If the hook eye is blocked, gently insert the eye cleaner tip and rotate slightly to clear the passage without damaging the hook. Use the line connector tool to secure junctions: wet the knot before tightening to reduce heat and preserve line strength. For sharpening, run the hook point at a consistent angle with small controlled strokes; test the point by lightly touching your thumbnail—the point should catch immediately. Rinse and dry the tool after use to extend its lifespan.
