由 David Rose The Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder is a specialized accessory designed for fly anglers to organize and carry their tippet spools efficiently. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. Compact & Lightweight

– Designed to attach to your vest, pack, or sling for easy access while wading or hiking.
2. Secure Tippet Storage
– Holds multiple spools (typically 3–6) of tippet material (fluorocarbon or monofilament) in an organized manner.
– Some models include rubberized grips or retention bands to prevent spools from falling out.

4. Weather-Resistant
– Corrosion-resistant hardware for saltwater or freshwater use.
Why Use a Tippet Holder?
