Nippers/Retractors

Nippers and retractors—also known as zingers—are small but essential tools that keep your fly fishing setup efficient and organized. Nippers are used to trim tippet, leader, and tag ends cleanly, while retractors keep tools like nippers, hemostats, and floatant easily accessible and secured to your vest or pack. Together, they save time on the water and help you stay focused on fishing rather than fumbling for gear.

This collection includes some of the best nippers and retractors on the market, including premium options designed to last a lifetime, as well as high-performance, budget friendly options. Whether you’re upgrading worn-out tools or outfitting a new pack, these nippers and retractors are small investments that make a big difference in efficiency on the water.
