Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder XL
The new XL size was designed specifically for holding 4″ spools.
The all new Headgate XL is an enlarged version of our popular Headgate. The new XL size was designed specifically for holding 4″ spools so you can have the same great features as our standard size when you’re saltwater fishing. Also, if you want to hold a larger variety of standard spools, the XL can hold up to thirteen. When you use Fishpond’s Headgate tippet dispensers, you will wonder why no one has thought of anything like it before. The spring loaded hinge design allows an angler to easily add, remove, and carry most tippet spools with ease. Just clip it on somewhere close and forget about the days of looking through your waders, vest, or pack searching for those loose spools.

I’ve been using the Headgate XL on my saltwater trips and it’s a game changer. It holds my 4″ spools securely and I can quickly access them without digging through my gear. The spring hinge makes it easy to attach and remove, even when my hands are wet.

Great for anglers who use multiple spool sizes. It fits well on my vest and keeps everything organized. I’ve tried other tippet holders, but this one is the most reliable and easy to use.

Works well for holding standard spools. The capacity is impressive, and it’s durable. A little heavy for small trips, but worth it for regular saltwater fishing.
