RIO Twist Clips
RIO’s TWIST CLIPS are ultra-fast, easy connection clips that allow anglers to change flies with extreme ease and speed, and prevent leaders and tippet sections from getting too short. Simply tie the appropriate sized clip onto the end of your leader and either twist or clip on your fly. Multiple sizes ensure a suitable fit for most fly sizes.
RIO recommends these clips for larger streamers and Salmon/steelhead patterns, as well as smaller dries, nymphs, and soft hackles.
| Clip Size | Approximate Fly Size |
|---|---|
| Small | Size 10–14 dries, nymphs |
| Medium | Size 14–18 dries, soft hackles |
| Large | Size 18–22 streamers, salmon/steelhead patterns |
Each pack contains 10 clips. Twist clips are black in color. Fly clips are bronze in color.

I’ve used these clips on multiple fishing trips and they make changing flies much faster than traditional knots. The black twist clips stay secure and don’t slip during casting. Great for streamers and nymphs.

The clips work well with my smaller dries and soft hackles. I appreciate the variety of sizes and how easy it is to switch flies without cutting or tying knots.

I’ve switched from using knots to these clips and it’s noticeably faster in the field. The bronze fly clips look good and stay firmly attached during casting.
