He fished year round including ice fishing in the Wisconsin winters. As he got older he expanded his love of fishing to include ocean fishing and kayak fishing. After 35 years of fishing, and countless times cutting line with his teeth or fumbling for scissors and knives, Vance thought there had to be a safer and more convenient way to perform such a simple task. He immediately began designing his now patent-pending line cutting ring for cutting fishing line. In this way, he can enjoy a quick, convenient cut and get back to doing what he loves doing best - catching fish! After using this ring, Vance considers this one of his ultimate fishing essentials. using this ring, Vance considers this one of his ultimate fishing essentials.
