FAQ
What makes Mirage™ tippet different from regular fluorocarbon?
Mirage™ tippet uses patented extrusion taper technology to provide superior turnover power and a refraction index similar to water, making it nearly invisible to fish.
Is this tippet suitable for use in still water or spring creeks?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use in still water and spring creeks where fish are often wary and require a nearly invisible leader.
Does this tippet have good abrasion resistance?
Yes, it features excellent abrasion resistance, which helps protect the line during use in rocky or brushy environments.

Used this tippet for a week of fishing in a spring creek. The line stayed invisible and didn’t break even when casting heavy streamers. Very reliable and smooth in action.
Neil Payne –
Felt a noticeable difference in turnover when switching from regular fluorocarbon. Fish didn’t seem to detect the line, which helped in catching more wary trout.
Penelope Burgess –
Good for nymphing and streamer fishing. A bit more expensive, but the performance in still water is worth it. No issues with abrasion after several casts.
Jennifer McGrath –
The tippet holds up well in fast-moving water. Fish didn’t react to it, and the turnover is smooth and consistent during casting.

Works well with my existing setup. The invisibility helps when targeting cautious fish in clear water. Slight stiffness in cold conditions, but otherwise excellent.
