FRS-9

Our patented FRS-9 (Folding Rod Sleeve for a 9-foot fly rod) is an innovative way to transport a fully rigged fly rod.  Simply insert your fully assembled, fully rigged fly rod into the sleeve, zip the protective case, separate the middle ferrule using the embedded grip or inline zipper, fold the rod in half and secure in place.  It can then fit easily, anywhere in your vehicle.  No more tangled lines.  Add our included shoulder carrying strap, and you can bring a second rod along with you. See how it works!

Tippetac

Tippetac was invented by fly fishermen just like you. We got tired of doing the fly line retrieval dance while standing in the river, changing a fly. So we came up with this innovative solution.

Rubber Wedge

The wedge and slit were carefully designed to make it easy to slide your monofilament leader/tippet in and out without damage. When you’re changing out a fly, just slide your leader/tippet into the slit of Tippetac before you clip it. Then, clip your fly and tie on a new one. Tippetac keeps track of your line…hands free until you are ready to cast again. No more looking around for your line while the end floats 30’ down river. You can also use the slit to hold clipped tippet, double rigs, etc. Once you begin to use Tippetac, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it! 

Magnetic

The magnets primarily function as an attachment mechanism. Place the rubber piece (with attached magnet) on the outside of your waders, jacket, pack etc. Place the separate magnet behind the material to attach Tippetac. 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.  

Testamonials

“As a fly fishing guide, I would like to thank the creators of Tippetac. Tippetac isn’t just something else to add weight to your vest. I actually try to keep my vest as light as I can, but Tippetac is my third hand; I would be lost without it. When guiding on highly technical waters like the San Jaun, I could be changing flies every few minutes for my clients. Tippetac makes it quick and easy. The magnet keeps hold of all the tiny midges I’m changing out. The rubber groove holds the leaders when I’m changing flies. This alone has really cut down on how often I get hooked by clients. Thanks, Tippetac!” - Mark M., Professional Guide

“Fly Rod Chronicles endorses Tippetac. It is not only a handy device when tying on flies, droppers, etc., but a spare Tippetac can be worn to keep all your trashed line so it doesn’t ruin the environment.” - Jarod M, Executive Producer, FRC

“Tippetac is the key tool that every angler is lacking. I lose less flies. Tippetac enables me or any angler to manage our leader and, most important, our flies.” - Ethan P, Professional Guide

 Fly Rings

Fly Rings are a simple, unobtrusive solution that will hold your loose flies on double and triple rigs and prevent them from inadvertently snagging. Just place 1-3 Fly Rings on the butt section of your 4-piece fly rod prior to assembly and leave them in place, ready when you need them.

We include a pack of Fly Rings with the purchase of each FRS-9.
