Underwater Weed Cutters

Underwater weed cutters you would attach to an outboard motor with its prop removed. They’d work a bit like a rotary lawn mower while you rowed the boat.

The most obvious application for the new underwater weed cutter is, of course, fishing!

When you cast your line, a little more than you expect it to sink, your lure is likely to become clogged with unwanted weeds and debris. The best bet? Use an underwater weed cutter with a small brush attachment, to catch whatever gets caught, so that the line isn’t slowed by debris.
