Used this tippet for streamer fishing in deep rivers. The stiffness held up well under heavy drag and the dark color matched the river bottom perfectly. No tangles even after long casts. A reliable choice for tough conditions.
Anna Davidson –
Felt stiffer than expected, which worked great for my bass bug presentations. The abrasion resistance held up during a long trip on a rocky river. Slightly longer than labeled, but that’s expected.
William Davies –
Great for swinging wets. The tippet stayed secure on my spool and didn’t fray or come loose. The dark color blends well with river bottoms, making it hard to spot when fishing.
