Fine-Tuned Releases for Better Kite Fishing

Kite fishing is all about keeping live baits at the surface where gamefish can see them. The weak link in most setups is the release clip. Too tight and you miss the bite. Too loose and wind pops your bait out of the water. The R2 Kite Clip solves both problems with a tension system that adjusts in tiny increments.

The three included kite line clearances (1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 inch) let you match the clip to your specific kite line diameter. The smooth release action means clean drops when a sailfish, tuna, or dolphin grabs your bait. Made in the USA by R&R Tackle, a company run by anglers who kite fish regularly.

Adjustable Tension

The R2 mechanism allows tension adjustments far beyond what standard clips offer. Dial in the exact release pressure for your conditions, bait size, and target species. No more guessing.

Three Kite Line Clearances

Each set includes clip bodies with 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 inch clearances. Match the clearance to your kite line diameter for a perfect fit that slides smoothly without binding.

Smooth Release Action

When a fish takes the bait, the clip releases cleanly without jerking the line or spooking the fish. The smooth operation means more solid hookups and fewer pulled baits.

How to Set Up R2 Kite Clips

  1. Select the clip body with the clearance matching your kite line diameter
  2. Attach the crane swivel to your kite line
  3. Thread your fishing line through the clip
  4. Adjust tension based on wind speed and bait size
  5. Deploy your bait and let the kite hold it at the surface
  6. When a fish strikes, the clip releases and you are tight to the fish

How do I set the tension on R2 Kite Clips? +
The tension adjusts via the clip mechanism. Start with moderate tension and fine-tune based on wind conditions and bait size. Tighter for windy days, lighter for calm conditions. Our kite fishing guide covers setup.
What kite line do these work with? +
The three clearance sizes (1/16, 1/8, 1/4 inch) cover most kite lines on the market. Match the clearance to your line diameter for smooth sliding. See our kite fishing collection.
What species can I target with kite fishing? +
Sailfish, tuna, mahi, kingfish, and tarpon are the primary targets. Any pelagic species that feeds on surface bait is fair game. Read our kite fishing guide for species-specific tactics.
How many clips do I need? +
Each set has 3 clips. Most kite setups run 2-3 baits per kite, so one set handles a single kite. Run two kites and you will want two sets. Browse all kite fishing gear.
Are these better than standard release clips? +
The adjustability is the main advantage. Standard clips have limited tension settings. The R2 allows micro-adjustments that keep your bait in the strike zone longer. Our sailfish guide explains why that matters.
What other gear do I need for kite fishing? +
You will need a fishing kite, kite reel, release clips (this product), and live bait. Optional: a second kite for more coverage. Check our kite fishing guide for the complete gear list.
