This tippet holder is a game changer. I’ve used it on multiple trips and it’s saved me from constantly searching for spools. The clip is easy to attach and the built-in cutter works perfectly for trimming lines on the go.

Lightweight and well built. The aluminum body feels solid and the hinge makes adding or removing spools a breeze. I keep it clipped to my vest and never have to dig through my pack again.
Jack Poole –
Works well for storing up to 7 spools, though I found it a bit tight for larger spools. The cutting blade is sharp and useful, especially when I need to trim lines quickly during a cast.
