Dorothy Peters –
Used this tippet for a recent trip to a rocky stream. It held up well when casting poppers and didn’t fray even after being dragged over rocks. The 12lb size worked perfectly with my Clouser minnows. Good durability and consistent performance.
Alison North –
Felt stiffer than expected, which helped with casting larger flies. The 10lb version performed reliably in moderate current. No breakage during use, though it’s a bit more rigid than standard tippets.
Sally Gill –
Great for tough conditions. I used the 16lb version on a deep-water section and it stayed intact even when the fly hit a submerged log. Easy to spool and maintains tension during casts.
