Full details
The RidgeMonkey Multi Tool is an essential, all-in-one accessory designed for carp and coarse anglers who demand precision in their rig construction. Providing five distinct functions in a single compact unit, it simplifies the creation of complex rigs and leaders, making it a must-have for the serious tackle box.

FAQs
Will this tool work with all types of braid?
It is designed for most standard coated braids, but very thick or ultra-thin specialty coatings may require slight adjustments in pressure.
Is the tool dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to clean the tool by hand with warm water to prevent warping or structural damage.
Does it float?
No, the tool is not designed to be buoyant and will sink if dropped into the water.
Can I use this for heavy-duty wire traces?
This tool is intended for standard carp and coarse fishing line and leaders. It is not recommended for heavy wire traces.
How do I use the loop former correctly?
Select the step on the tool that corresponds to your desired loop size, wrap your line around it, and tension as necessary while splicing or knotting.
Troubleshooting
Tool not glowing in the dark.
Expose the tool to direct sunlight or a bright LED torch for a few minutes to 'charge' the Nite-Glo material.
Difficulty stripping coated braid.
Ensure the braid is centered in the stripping slot and pull with a smooth, consistent motion rather than jerking the line.
Plastic tips feeling rough.
Inspect the tool for debris. If debris is clear, use a fine-grit nail file to gently buff away any burrs that may have developed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The RidgeMonkey Multi Tool does not require assembly or special setup. To ensure it remains in top condition, wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to remove any bait residue or lake silt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these may degrade the plastic material over time. When not in use, store the tool in a dry, shaded area inside your tackle box to protect the plastic from prolonged UV exposure, which can potentially weaken the material over several seasons. Ensure all line-handling parts remain free of debris to prevent nicks or abrasions on your fishing line.
