The AFTCO Goldfinger Outrigger release clip should be attached directly to the outrigger halyard without the use of swivels. The adjustment-slider end of the clip needs to be "up" towards the tip of the outrigger. For fixed position bait trolling,the fishing line should be twisted 5 to 10 times before hooking loop over the clip's bail. The line may also be passed over the bail without twists to allow for adjustment of baits or lures.

The Connection That Keeps Your Kite Rig in the Game
The Aftco Kite Clip Attachment is a purpose-built accessory designed to make your kite fishing setup faster to deploy, more reliable in the water, and easier to manage between drops. Whether you're running a single kite or a multi-line spread, this clip gives you a secure, consistent connection point that holds up to the demands of saltwater kite fishing without fumbling or failure at the critical moment.
Engineered for Kite Fishing, Not Adapted From Something Else
Generic clips and improvised connections are a common source of frustration in kite fishing — they slip, corrode, or fail to release cleanly when a fish strikes. The Aftco Kite Clip Attachment is built specifically for this application, with the right combination of holding strength and release action to keep your bait in the strike zone and your rig fishing the way it's supposed to.
Stop Losing Bites to a Bad Connection
In kite fishing, the clip is the most critical link in your entire rig. A clip that doesn't hold lets your bait sink out of the zone. A clip that doesn't release cleanly costs you the fish. The Aftco Kite Clip Attachment is designed to do both — hold your line securely at the surface and release instantly when a fish strikes, giving you the best possible hookup ratio on every drop.
Why the Aftco Kite Clip Belongs in Your Kite Bag
- Purpose-built for kite fishing — not a generic clip adaptation
- Secure hold keeps bait locked in the strike zone
- Clean release on the strike for maximum hookup ratio
- Saltwater-resistant construction built for repeated offshore use
- Aftco's trusted fishing-specific engineering and quality
The Right Pick If...
- You run a kite fishing spread and need reliable, consistent clip performance
- You're tired of clips that slip, corrode, or fail to release cleanly
- You want a clip built by a brand that understands saltwater fishing
- You're setting up a new kite rig or replacing worn-out clips
- You fish live bait under a kite for tuna, sailfish, or swordfish
Best Fishing Techniques
Designed specifically for kite fishing with live or dead bait. Works with standard kite fishing setups including electric reels, manual kite reels, and multi-drop spreads. Compatible with most kite fishing line and release clip systems.
Best Conditions
Offshore saltwater environments where kite fishing is the primary technique — calm to moderate wind conditions where a kite can be flown effectively. Also useful in inshore kite fishing applications for species like tarpon and snook where live bait presentation at the surface is critical.
Best For
- Offshore tuna, sailfish, and swordfish kite fishing

- Multi-line kite spreads
- Anglers who want a reliable, repeatable clip system

Tackle Express Tips
- Rinse after every trip: Salt buildup is the number one enemy of any clip mechanism. A quick freshwater rinse after each offshore trip keeps the clip action smooth and extends its life significantly.
- Carry spares: Kite clips take a beating in active fishing conditions. Keep at least two or three KCA clips in your kite bag so a lost or damaged clip never shuts down your spread mid-trip.
- Check the release tension before you deploy: Before dropping your bait, test the clip release with your hand to confirm it's set correctly for the conditions — too tight and it won't release on the strike, too loose and your bait will drop out of the zone prematurely.
FAQ
Is this clip compatible with standard kite fishing setups?
Yes — the Aftco Kite Clip Attachment is designed to work with standard kite fishing line and release systems. If you have a specific setup or reel configuration, contact us at Tackle Express and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
How many clips do I need for a typical kite spread?
Most kite fishing spreads run 2–6 baits per kite, so you'll typically need one clip per drop line. We recommend having extras on hand — clips can be lost to fish, tangles, or wear over a season of heavy use.
Can this be used for inshore kite fishing as well as offshore?
Absolutely. While the KCA is built for the demands of offshore saltwater use, it works equally well for inshore kite fishing applications like tarpon and snook where surface bait presentation is the goal.
