Michael Bower –
Used this tippet for dry fly fishing in clear lakes. The line stayed strong even after prolonged exposure to water. The cutter on the spool made trimming easy and the silicone band helped prevent UV damage. Great performance and reliable in the field.
Christopher Buckland –
Fished with this tippet for several days in freshwater. It held up well under tension and didn’t absorb water like other lines. The 30-meter length is perfect for long casts and the supple feel allows for smooth drifts.
Ava Rampling –
Good quality tippet with excellent knot strength. The UV protection is a nice touch. Slight hesitation in the first few uses, but after a few casts it felt natural. Would recommend for dry fly enthusiasts.
