Considerations & Trade-offs
- Best suited to smaller dries, nymphs, and soft hackles; larger streamers and salmon/steelhead patterns are called out for the Twist style clips instead.
- Requires tying the clip onto the end of the leader before use, so it adds a small extra step compared with a direct knot connection.
- The clip is designed to help preserve leader and tippet length, but it also introduces another component into the terminal setup.
- Size selection matters: the listed fly-size ranges vary by clip size, so matching the clip to the intended fly range is important.
