TIPPETAC We've all been there, you want to change patterns, so you grab your fly, clip it off and like that... your fly line and leader float downstream. The TIPPETAC solves that problem. This nifty little tool uses two super strong, rare earth neodymium magnets to make sure it stays where you want it, and a rubber piece with the wedge and slit to keep your tippet close for a quick retie. We've found that placing it on the right side of the chest area (for right handers) works best. It also works great on top of a waist pack. Experiment until you find the place that works best for you. The magnets also function to temporarily hold flies. You will find it's a great place to quickly store a fly or two as you change out your rig.
Not sure why it took so long for someone to create this, such a simple idea, yet so helpful. After 1 day of using it, I forgot it the next time I went out and couldn't believe how much I missed it. I'm not one to jump on every gadget out there, but I sure am glad I found this one. It's a must have.
