There are some useful tools for fly fishing that are among the absolute "must-haves". A retractor, i.e. a tool holder with an extendable safety line, is one of them.
According to the motto "cheap you always buy twice", a lot of fly fishers have already painfully experienced how much truth there is in this statement.
But with the Fishpond Arrowhead Retractor you have a tool that can hardly be more valuable! Handcrafted from rugged, corrosion-resistant 60/60 aluminum borrowed from aerospace engineering, you get a quality tool that won't let you down. Inspired by an arrowhead, an iconic element in human history, the design of the retractor is both timeless and eye-catching. The retraction mechanism runs silky smooth and even. Let's keep your tool secured bya braided nylon cord with a capacity of 130 lbs (59 kg). Using the snap hook, you attach the retractor to your vest, pack or any other functional garment / equipment with a D-ring or similar device. We dare to say that the Fishpond Arrowhead Retractor will probably be the last retractor you will buy.

Established more than 20 years ago, the American manufacturer Fishpond is known for high-quality backpacks, packs and accessories. In fact, all of these products have one thing in common: They combine a practice-oriented design, an outstanding quality and a stylish appearance – exactly what demanding fly fishermen need. Furthermore, Fishpond places great emphasis on sustainability, which leads to eco-friendly production methods and an inspiring company philosophy.
