AFTCO Roller Troller Outrigger Clips

Control Your Spread. Miss Fewer Fish.

The AFTCO Roller Troller Outrigger Clips give you something most outrigger clips can't: the ability to reel line directly through the clip without removing it. Position your lure exactly where you want it by simply reeling in or letting out line — the line rides on a silky-smooth AFLON™-treated roller that won't nick or weaken your leader. When a fish strikes, AFTCO's precision-engineered latching system releases at exactly the same pull every time, so you get consistent hookups and fewer broken rigs.

Precision That Pays Off on the Water

Inconsistent release tension is one of the most common causes of missed strikes and broken gear. The Roller Troller's improved micro-tension adjustment is positive and sensitive across a wide range of settings — once you dial it in, the latch releases at the same force on every strike. That repeatability means you can fine-tune your spread for different lure weights, trolling speeds, and target species without second-guessing your setup.

Why Outrigger Clip Quality Matters

A cheap clip that releases too early causes false drops and wasted time re-rigging. One that's too stiff delays the hookset and costs you fish. The Roller Troller sits in the sweet spot — adjustable enough to handle everything from light ballyhoo rigs to heavy lures, and reliable enough that you can trust it trip after trip. The AFLON™ bearing handles constant friction without wearing down, even in saltwater conditions.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match tension to lure weight: Heavier lures need more tension to prevent false drops from wave action. Start light and increase until you stop getting premature releases.
• Use both clips symmetrically: Set both clips to the same tension so your port and starboard lines drop at the same time on a double strike — critical when targeting billfish.
• Rinse after every trip: The AFLON bearing is built to last, but a quick freshwater rinse after saltwater use keeps the roller spinning freely and extends the life of the clip.

FAQ

Can I adjust lure position without taking the clip off the outrigger line?
Yes — that's one of the Roller Troller's key advantages. Simply reel in or let out line and it feeds right through the clip on the roller. No need to drop the outrigger or re-rig.

Is this compatible with kite fishing setups?
Yes. The Roller Troller Outrigger Clip works well for kite fishing applications where adjustable, consistent release tension is important. The micro-tension adjustment lets you dial in the right setting for kite line conditions.

How is this different from the Flat Line Clip?
The Outrigger Clip is designed for use on outrigger and kite lines, where the line runs through the clip at an angle from above. The Flat Line Clip is designed for stern flat lines trolled at a lower angle. Both use the same AFLON roller and micro-tension system, but are configured for different positions in the spread.
