The Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder XL Dispenser is a premium, durable organizer designed for fly anglers to store and dispense tippet spools efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of the two versions you mentioned:
1. 13-Spool Version
– Holds up to 13 standard-sized tippet spools (typical 30- to 200-yard spools).
– Compact, lightweight, and easy to attach to a vest, pack, or sling.
– Features a smooth, one-handed dispensing mechanism to prevent tangles.
– Made from recycled materials (Fishpond’s EcoPak fabric) and corrosion-resistant hardware.
2. 5-Large Spool Version
– Designed for bulk tippet spools (larger than standard, often 200+ yards).
– Holds 5 big spools securely while allowing easy access.
– Same durable construction and dispensing system as the 13-spool model.
Key Features (Both Versions)
– Magnetic closure keeps spools secure.
– Drainage holes prevent water retention.
– MOLLE-compatible straps for easy attachment to gear.
Which One to Choose?
– If you carry multiple tippet sizes (e.g., 3X–7X), the 13-spool version is ideal.
– If you use bulk spools or fewer but larger tippet rolls, the 5-large-spool version is better.
Both are excellent for keeping tippet organized and accessible on the water. Would you like recommendations on tippet brands or sizes to pair with it?
