There's been a bit of confusion between RIO's Fly Clips and Twist Clips. RIO's Digital picture shows the Twist Clip for both types of clips. As you can see above they are clearly different. Let us know if you have any questions. Like RIO's Fly Clips, their Twist Clips are an excellent accessory to your system if you like to fish larger Streamers and change flies often.RIO Fly Clips are an excellent addition to your fly fishing system, giving you ultra fast, easy connections that allow for frequent fly changes without sacrificing your leader or tippet to constant cutting and retying. Simply tie the appropriate size clip to the end of your leader and twist or clip on your fly. Multiple sizes ensure there is an option for most fly sizes. RIO Fly Clips are ideal for smaller dries, nymphs, soft hackles, and smaller streamers, especially if you do not like retying every time you change flies, while RIO Twist Clips are recommended for larger streamers and salmon or steelhead patterns, helping keep your leader and tippet from getting too short over the course of a day on the water.RIO Fly Clips are a smart, simple upgrade to any fly fishing setup. Instead of cutting and retying knots every time you change flies, you tie a RIO Fly Clip to the end of your leader and clip your fly on in seconds. This saves time on the water, helps keep your leader and tippet at full fishing length, and reduces waste from repeated trimming.
These compact clips are ideal for smaller dries, nymphs, soft hackles, and smaller streamers when you want to experiment with patterns until the fish respond. They are especially helpful in cold weather, low light, or whenever fine tippet and small flies make knot work slow and frustrating. The low profile design keeps your connection neat so the fly can move and fish naturally.
Whether you are wading a trout river, fishing lakes, swinging soft hackles on a light trout spey setup, or dialing in a technical nymph rig, RIO Fly Clips help you stay efficient. Drop a pack into your vest, sling, or boat bag and enjoy more time casting and less time tying knots, while you protect your leader and tippet for long days on the water.
