Oliver Vaughan –
Used this tippet on a trout stream with rocky sections. The line held up well under pressure and allowed the fly to move naturally. No breakages even when the fish was fighting hard. Very reliable.
Phil Poole –
Fished in a coldwater river with structure. The thin profile helped with presentation, and the strength kept the line from snapping when the fish took the bait.
Una Grant –
Good performance in moderate conditions. A bit stiff when first pulled, but settled in quickly. Works well with small flies and light tackle.
Stephen Underwood –
Perfect for selective fishing. The turnover is smooth and the line doesn’t tangle easily. I’ve used it on multiple trips and it’s held up consistently.
