Rio Fluoroflex Strong Tippet
RIO’s newest tippet material is an ultra-strong, 100% fluorocarbon with exceptionally high tensile strength. The material is very easy to tie knots in, with high knot strength and a smooth finish that ensures knots seat easily and tightly.
The high break strength to diameter ratio makes this a fantastic fluorocarbon for trout fly fishing. RIO introduces half sizes of core trout diameters, including 6.5X, 5.5X, and 4.5X, giving anglers more flexibility when choosing between standard sizes like 4X and 5X.
| Size | Length |

Brandon Walsh –
I’ve used this tippet for several trout fishing trips and it holds up well under pressure. The knots stay tight and don’t slip, which is a big plus. The 5.5X size fits perfectly between 5X and 6X, and the 30-yard spool is just enough for a typical day on the water.

The half sizes are a game changer. I used to struggle with choosing between 4X and 5X, but now I can match my fly size more accurately. The material is strong and the knot tying is smooth and reliable.
Sean Murray –
Good strength and easy to tie. The 6.5X size worked well in a cold stream where I needed a bit more diameter. I’d recommend it for anglers who want more precise sizing options.
