A fishing line cutter that is integral to a fishing pole. The fishing line cutter comprises a tubular section with an arcuate projection. The arcuate projection may extend from a same side as a reel mounted on the fishing pole. A spring means may springingly attach the arcuate projection to a slot. The slot can accommodate the arcuate projection upon depression into the fishing pole. An O-ring may be employed to slide along the fishing pole and facilitate depression of the arcuate projection. At least one sharpening means may be included in the fishing line cutter to maintain sharpness.
