Alison Mathis –
Used this tippet for a tarpon fishing trip and it held up well under heavy bites. The fluorocarbon is nearly invisible and didn’t break even when the fish pulled hard. Easy to tie on and stayed intact in strong winds.
Charles Brown –
Fished with snook and permit in coastal areas. The tippet resisted abrasion from rocks and weeds. It’s a solid choice for saltwater species that are tough to catch.
Angela Oliver –
Good quality and durable. The 30-yard spool is convenient for long casts. A bit stiff for some fly types, but works well in windy conditions.

Perfect for my daily saltwater fishing. It doesn’t show under water and holds up when the fish run. No breakages even during aggressive runs.
