Quick take
Three retractable zingers with 28 inch nylon tethers and 2.6 oz retraction force for securing fly tools on a vest.
This three-piece set of retractable zingers pins to a fly vest and keeps nippers, forceps or floatant within easy reach on a 28-inch tether. A coated stainless steel spring is meant for saltwater outings, and the plastic case keeps each unit light. It suits fly anglers who want small tools close at hand instead of dangling loose.
