INOVA Rhino Clips

Overview

The INOVA Rhino Clip is a heavy-duty, non-snag power link designed primarily for attaching leads and traces in sea fishing. It is positioned as a stronger, more specialised alternative to the standard INOVA Rapid Link, aimed at anglers who need a secure connection for larger leads and powerful casting.

The clip is available in two sizes to suit different rig demands: Size 3, rated to 20kg (approx. 44lb), and Size 4, rated to 35kg (approx. 77lb). Both sizes come 10 clips to a packet, making it easy to keep spares for quick terminal changes during a session.

Unlike swivel-based connectors such as the Rapid Link Swivel, the Rhino Clip has no incorporated swivel and no bait clip – it is a straightforward, compact terminal link built for strength and a snag-resistant profile rather than added rotation.

Perfect For

The Rhino Clip is documented for extreme-distance shore casting and tournament casting, making it a sensible choice for anglers pushing leads out over long ranges where the terminal connection needs to hold under real force.

It also suits heavy shore-fishing rigs where a stronger link than a standard clip is needed, and it extends to boat fishing, including deep-water boat applications where bigger leads are used to cope with depth and strong tidal flow. It is suited to lead and sinker attachment as well as trace attachment, rather than snood connections.

Technical Insight

The non-snag design is a genuine practical benefit for shore fishing, where a bulky or protruding terminal clip can catch on weed, debris or structure during retrieval and cost an angler time or tackle. The Rhino Clip's shape is built to reduce that risk while still offering a strong, secure attachment point for compatible leads and traces.

Its credibility for powerful casting is reinforced by the fact it has been tested and approved by England international tournament caster Jay "Rhino Power" Lee, which also explains the product's name. This link between the product and competitive distance casting sets it apart from more general-purpose lead clips, even though a similarly sized Rapid Link carries a marginally higher test rating.
