Q: What are fly fishing retractors used for?
A: Fly fishing retractors, also known as zingers, keep your essential tools — like nippers, forceps, and floatant — within easy reach. They attach to your vest, pack, or waders and extend on a cord, allowing you to use tools quickly without dropping or losing them in the water.

Q: What types of retractors do you sell?
A: Drift Outfitters carries a range of retractors, including traditional steel cable styles, high-strength cord models, and magnetic or clip-on designs. Some feature locking mechanisms cords for added security.

Q: What materials are the best retractors made from?
A: High-quality retractors are made with corrosion-resistant components such as stainless steel or anodized aluminum. Many also use Kevlar or coated cable cords to ensure smooth, reliable retraction and long-lasting performance on the water.

Q: Which fly fishing retractor brands do you carry?
A: We carry leading brands Loon Outdoors, Fishpond and Simms. These brands are trusted for durability, smooth operation, and smart attachment designs that fit any setup.

Q: How do I attach a retractor to my gear?
A: Most retractors clip or pin securely onto your vest, sling pack, or wading jacket. Simply connect the tool’s pin or clip to your nippers or forceps, and you’ll have quick, tangle-free access whenever you need it.

Q: How should I care for my fly fishing retractor?
A: Rinse your retractor with fresh water after each trip, especially if used in saltwater. Allow it to dry fully before storing and periodically check the cord or spring tension to ensure it retracts smoothly.
