FAQ
What makes the Absolute Stealth Tippet different from standard tippets?
The tippet uses a proprietary copolymer blend that reduces water absorption and maintains high suppleness, resulting in better knot strength when wet. It also features a light olive tint to reduce line flash and a silicone band for UV protection.
Is the tippet suitable for trout fishing in clear waters?
Yes, the light olive tint helps reduce line visibility, making it ideal for fishing in clear or sensitive environments where fish are wary of movement.
How does the wet knot strength compare to other brands?
The Absolute Stealth Tippet has up to 40% higher wet knot strength compared to competitor products and 29% higher than Scientific Anglers’ previous material.
Elizabeth Rutherford –
Used this tippet on a clear mountain lake and noticed the line didn’t flash in the water. The fish were very cautious, and the tippet stayed invisible. The knot strength held well even after a few hours of fishing. No line breakages during the session.
Andrew Blake –
Great for dry fly fishing. The suppleness allows smooth drifts without tugging. The 30m spool is convenient for long casts. The UV protection is noticeable after a few days of sun exposure.
Gavin Hart –
The tippet performs well in cold water conditions. The knot strength is solid, and the line feels smooth. Slight hesitation in the first few uses, but it settled in quickly.
Warren Dickens –
Fished in a stream with sensitive trout. The light olive color made a big difference. No fish reacted to the line. The silicone band kept the tippet from fading under sun exposure.
Phil Martin –
Good value for the performance. The spool design makes it easy to manage on the water. A bit more expensive than standard tippets, but the strength and invisibility justify the cost.
