The Hi-Seas Stainless Steel Loop Protectors are essential components for building durable, long-lasting fishing leaders and rigs. These precision-manufactured thimbles protect your line loops from chafe and abrasion, extending leader life and preventing failures at critical connection points.

Superior Chafe Protection

When your leader loops connect to swivels, hooks, or lures, friction and movement create wear points that can compromise your rig. Hi-Seas loop protectors eliminate this vulnerability by providing a smooth, hard surface that shields your line from abrasion. The result is stronger, more reliable connections that hold up through repeated casts, trolling sessions, and hard fights.

Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel

Manufactured from premium stainless steel, these loop protectors resist saltwater corrosion and maintain their integrity season after season. Unlike cheaper alternatives that rust and weaken, Hi-Seas thimbles deliver consistent performance in the harsh offshore environment.

Professional-Grade Construction

Each loop protector features smooth, rounded edges that won't damage your line during crimping or use. The precise sizing ensures a secure fit within your crimped loops, while the polished finish reduces friction and wear on your monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders.

Versatile Applications

Perfect for offshore trolling leaders, live bait rigs, bottom fishing setups, and any application where loop strength and durability matter. Whether you're building wind-on leaders for billfish, wahoo rigs, or heavy tuna leaders, these thimbles provide the protection your connections need.

Essential Rigging Component

Serious anglers know that the strongest leader is only as good as its weakest point. By reinforcing your loops with Hi-Seas stainless steel protectors, you eliminate a common failure point and gain confidence that your rigs will perform when it matters most.

Perfect for: Offshore trolling leaders, live bait rigs, wind-on construction, bottom fishing leaders, tournament rigging, and charter operations

Keep Your Lines Down and Your Lures Working

When you're trolling from the stern, line angle is everything. The AFTCO Roller Troller Flat Line Clip puts your flat lines into the water at a lower, more productive angle — keeping lures below the surface where they run true, reducing tangles with other lines, and delivering instant, clean releases the moment a fish strikes. No hesitation, no missed hookups.

Engineered for Offshore Punishment

This isn't a clip you'll be replacing every season. The Roller Troller is built around a stainless steel roller with an AFLON™-treated bearing that handles the constant friction of trolling without wearing down. The 135-lb coated stainless steel cable and heavy-duty snap swivel are rated for the biggest fish you're likely to encounter. Micro-tension adjustment lets you dial in the release sensitivity for different lure weights and sea conditions.

Why Flat Line Angle Matters

Lines trolled at a steep angle create drag, reduce lure action, and are more likely to tangle with outrigger lines. A flat line clip solves all three problems — your lures run deeper, swim more naturally, and stay separated from the spread. When a fish hits, the clip snaps open instantly so you're fighting the fish, not the clip.

The Right Pick If...

• You're running a multi-line trolling spread and need clean line separation
• You want a release clip that won't prematurely pop or fail to release
• You're targeting big-game species that require a solid, reliable setup
• You need adjustable tension to match different lure weights and conditions

Best Fishing Techniques

• Flat line trolling from the stern with lures or rigged baits
• Multi-line spreads with outriggers — keeps flat lines separated and productive
• High-speed trolling for wahoo and tuna
• Slow trolling with rigged ballyhoo or mackerel for billfish

Best Conditions

• Offshore blue water trolling in any sea state
• Any situation where line angle and lure depth need to be controlled
• Multi-line spreads where tangle prevention is critical

Best For

• Species: Marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna
• Techniques: Flat line trolling, multi-line spreads, high-speed trolling, slow-trolled rigged baits
• Use Cases: Stern flat line clips, trolling spread organization, release clip replacement

Key Features

• Stainless steel roller for smooth, low-friction line release
• AFLON™-treated bearing for long-lasting performance under constant use
• Micro-tension adjustment — dial in release sensitivity for any lure or condition
• 135-lb coated stainless steel cable — rated for serious offshore fish
• Heavy-duty snap swivel for quick attachment and reliable connection
• Instant snap-open release on strike — no hesitation, no missed fish
• Sold individually (1 clip per pack)

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with lighter tension: When first setting up, dial the micro-tension to the lighter end and work up. A clip that's too tight can delay the release and cost you a fish.
• Position matters: Mount your flat line clip as close to the water as practical — the lower the angle, the better your lure action and the less chance of tangling with outrigger lines.
• Inspect the cable regularly: Even coated stainless can show wear after heavy use. Check the cable and snap swivel before each trip and replace if you see fraying or corrosion.

FAQ

How does the micro-tension adjustment work?
The tension adjustment controls how much force is needed to pop the clip open on a strike. Lighter tension is better for smaller lures or when targeting fish that hit softly; heavier tension works better for large lures or high-speed trolling where wave action might cause false releases.

Can I use this clip with both lures and rigged baits?
Yes. The adjustable tension makes it versatile for both high-speed lures and slower-trolled rigged baits like ballyhoo or mackerel. Just adjust the tension to match the lure weight and trolling speed.

Is this sold as a single clip or a pair?
The AFTCO Roller Troller Flat Line Clip is sold individually — 1 clip per pack. Order two if you're running flat lines on both sides of the stern.

The Owner STX-60TN is a standard-wire treble hook built on Owner's Cutting Point technology with a tin-plated (TN) finish. It's one of the most widely used upgrade hooks in saltwater and freshwater hard bait fishing — sharp out of the box, corrosion-resistant, and available in sizes that cover everything from small topwaters to large conventional lures. If your lure came with soft factory hooks, the STX-60TN is the straightforward fix.

Why Factory Hooks Are the Weak Link

Most production hard baits ship with hooks that are adequate at best. They're soft, they dull quickly, and the points often require pressure to set rather than sliding in on a light strike. Owner's Cutting Point is a different geometry — the point is ground to a needle profile that requires minimal pressure to initiate penetration. On a fast-moving jerkbait or a surface lure where the strike window is a fraction of a second, that difference in point sharpness is the difference between a hook-up and a miss.

STX-60TN Construction

• Cutting Point technology — Owner's precision-ground needle point for instant, low-pressure penetration
• Tin-plated (TN) finish — corrosion-resistant in both saltwater and freshwater; silver-tone appearance
• Standard wire gauge — balanced between strength and weight; correct for most hard bait applications
• High-carbon steel construction — holds point integrity through multiple fish
• Welded eye — precise split ring attachment point
• Japanese manufactured — consistent hook-to-hook quality control

The Right Pick If...

• You're replacing factory hooks on jerkbaits, topwaters, swimbaits, spoons, or metal jigs
• You need a corrosion-resistant treble for saltwater use without stepping up to a heavier wire
• You're targeting species where light wire hooks improve hookup rate on short-striking fish (yellowtail, tuna on irons, bass on finesse hard baits)
• You want a proven, consistent upgrade hook at a reasonable price per pack

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jerkbait and suspending hard bait fishing
• Topwater walking baits and poppers
• Casting spoons and metal jigs
• Swimbaits with treble belly hooks
• Saltwater casting lures (iron, surface irons)

Best For

• Yellowtail, tuna, and pelagics on casting lures
• Bass, stripers, and inshore species on hard baits
• Any application where factory hooks are visibly soft or dull
• Anglers who replace hooks as a standard pre-trip prep step

Key Features

• Cutting Point — Owner's proprietary precision-ground needle point
• TN tin-plated finish — corrosion-resistant, silver tone
• Standard wire — balanced for hard bait applications
• High-carbon steel — durable, holds point integrity
• Available sizes: 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0

Size Guide

Tackle Express Tips

• When in doubt between two sizes, match the hook gap to the width of the lure body — you want the points to clear the body slightly without fouling on the cast. A hook that's too large will spin and foul; too small and you'll miss short strikes.
• For surface iron fishing (yellowtail, tuna), the 4/0 and 5/0 STX-60TN are a proven replacement for factory hooks on most medium-to-large casting irons. The tin finish holds up well in saltwater without the red oxidation you see on standard carbon hooks.
• Replace hooks at the start of each season and after any trip where you've landed multiple fish. Cutting Point geometry holds well, but the point tip is fine enough that repeated contact with teeth, rocks, or the deck dulls it faster than a thicker-ground hook.

FAQ

What's the difference between the STX-60TN and the STX-58?
The STX-58 uses a stronger, heavier wire than the STX-60TN and is designed for applications where fish with heavy teeth or large body weight could straighten standard wire. The STX-60TN's standard wire is appropriate for most hard bait applications; if you're targeting large tuna or billfish on heavy lures and need maximum hook strength, the STX-58 is the heavier-duty option.

How many hooks come per pack?
Pack counts vary by size — smaller sizes include more hooks per pack, larger sizes fewer. Check the pack labeling at checkout for the count on the size you're ordering.

Can I use these in freshwater?
Yes — the TN tin-plated finish resists corrosion in both fresh and saltwater. The STX-60TN is widely used in freshwater bass and striper fishing as a hard bait upgrade hook.

The AFTCO Kite Clip Kit has everything needed, except Monofilament line or Dacron to set up a kite fly-line for fishing one or two baits.

Each 11-piece set includes:

• Two Goldfinger Release Clips
• Five Kite Hooks
• Two black swivels
• One heavy-duty snap
• Kite not included

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.

1 Clip Per Pack

• Super lightweight design
• 12 Tension settings
• Oversized, polished, Gold Titanium-Nitride Coate

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
• Inshore tarpon and snook kite fishing
• Live bait presentations at the surface
• Multi-line kite spreads
• Anglers who want a reliable, repeatable clip system

Key Features

• Purpose-built kite fishing clip attachment
• Secure hold with clean strike release
• Saltwater-resistant construction
• Lightweight: 2 oz
• SKU: KCA
• Vendor: AFTCO

Models & Specs

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.
