This tippet holder is a game changer for saltwater fishing. I use it on my boat and it keeps all my spools organized. The spring hinge makes it easy to attach and remove spools without tools. I’ve used it for several trips and it’s never failed me.

Great size and sturdy design. I was able to store all my 4-inch spools and a few smaller ones in one place. The clip-on feature is convenient and I don’t have to dig through my waders anymore.

Works well for my fishing setup. I’ve used it on both reef and deep water trips. It holds a lot of spools and is easy to manage. A little heavy for casual use, but worth it for regular anglers.
