Choosing trellising hooks, clips and wickets

The QLIPR hook-and-clip system lets growers lower supported tomato and cucumber vines from a comfortable working height. Neversink's separate wicket components support lowered vines above the soil. These parts serve different purposes; choose the combination appropriate to your system.

What is the difference between a trellis hook and clip?

The QLIPR Trellis Hook holds the trellising support, while QLIPR Trellis Clips secure and support the plant. A typical setup uses one hook and two clips per plant. Trellis string is not included in any kit or bundle.

How do hooks and clips work when lowering crops?

Hooks and clips are reused as crops are lowered through the season. Follow the specific product instructions for safely supporting plants, and check that the structure and string are suitable for the crop weight.

What do wickets do?

Trellis Wickets help hold lowered tomato or cucumber vines off the soil rather than laying them directly on the ground. Wickets can be used with QLIPR hooks or compatible other lower-and-lean systems; they are not the same component as a hook or clip.

How many parts do I need?

Plan around the number of plants: generally one QLIPR hook and two clips per plant. The 250 Plant Bundle includes 250 hooks and 500 clips. If using wickets, follow the wicket sizing and spacing guide, including the recommended minimum spacing of one wicket every 20 inches along the row.

Can I buy replacement components?

Yes. See replacement clip foam and hook string holders. Confirm the accessory fits your specific setup.

Tomato Trellising Questions

How is the Hook and Wicket system different from traditional lower-and-lean trellising?

Both methods lower tomato or cucumber vines as they grow. With Neversink Wickets, the lowered vines are laid over steel supports in the bed rather than leaned sideways along the row. This keeps vines and fruit off the ground and reduces unnecessary plant handling.

Can Neversink Wickets be used with hooks other than QLIPR?

Yes. Neversink Wickets work with QLIPR® Trellis Hooks, roller hooks, Tomahooks, and other lower-and-lean systems. QLIPR hooks and clips are one compatible option, not a requirement for the wickets.

How many QLIPR hooks and clips do I need per tomato plant?

Plan on one QLIPR trellis hook and typically two QLIPR trellis clips per plant. Some plants may benefit from a third clip. Clips are sold as individual pieces, not pairs.
