RIO Fly Clips
RIO’S FLY CLIPS are ultra-fast, easy connection clips that allow anglers to change flies with extreme ease and speed, and prevent leaders and tippet sections from getting too short. Simply tie the appropriate sized clip onto the end of your leader and either twist or clip on your fly. Multiple sizes of clip ensure a suitable fit for the majority of fly sizes.
RIO recommends the larger clip for streamers and Salmon/steelhead patterns, and the standard fly clip for smaller dries, nymphs, and soft hackles.
10 clips per pack. Twist clips are black in color. Fly clips are bronze in color.
| Clip Size | Approximate Fly Size |
|---|---|
| Small | Size 10 to 12 |
| Medium | Size 14 to 16 |
| Large | Size 18 to 20 |
FAQ
What types of flies are best suited for each clip size?
The small clip size works well with dries and small nymphs, the medium size fits most standard flies, and the large clip is ideal for streamers and larger patterns like Salmon or steelhead.
Are the clips durable under regular fishing conditions?
Yes, the clips are designed to withstand regular use and maintain secure connections during casting and retrieval.
Can I use the twist clips with any type of fly?
Twist clips are best used with smaller flies and are available in black. They are not recommended for larger streamers where a more secure hold is needed.

These clips make fly changes much faster than traditional knots. I use them for dry flies and nymphs on trout streams. The bronze clips look good and stay secure during casting.

Great for switching flies quickly in the field. The small and medium sizes fit most of my flies perfectly. A little harder to find the right size at first, but once you know, they’re reliable.

I’ve used these for several weeks on both lakes and rivers. The clips hold firmly and don’t come loose during long casts. The black twist clips work well with smaller patterns.
