Welcome to Mossy Creek Gadget of the Week

This week we honor the Fishpond 360 Retractor

2

Retractors, Zingers, retainers, whatever you call them they all serve 1 main purpose....they keep your tools within reach and keep them from getting lost. Now there are a lot of options out in the fly fishing world but there is a reason most guides all over the country are using these bad boys....They don't fall off and they don't lose your tools! Many of the 'cheapo' zingers are attached with small fragile wire pins or clips that pull out, bend, or break at the slightest tug. These Fishpond retractors are held on by a compression pin that we have yet to see fail. The reverse lock swivel is also another key feature that keeps the swivel from ever coming undone on its own. I have lost dozens of nippers and forceps in the past before using these retractors. Now I'm finding myself replacing nippers and forceps because they are wearing out before I have a chance to lose them. At $18.00 they are a bit more expensive than other similar products but they will pay for themselves over and over again year after year. Grab one in your favorite color and we know you will be happy with this product. Thanks to Fishpond for creating such an incredible product. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR FISHPOND RETRACTOR.

 

 

Fly Fishing is so great because there are so many fun tools, gadgets, accessories, whatchamacallits, ect that we are designed to make our lives on the water easier. We are fortunate to be able to pull in our favorite gadgets from the best companies in the industry. Many of these accessories we use every day on the water, some we only use occasionally, and some we can live without but we buy them anyway because we just want it! We hope you will enjoy learning about our favorite items from the world of fly fishing.
