Justin Hodges –
I’ve used this tippet for several trout fishing trips and it holds up well under pressure. The knots stay secure and don’t slip, even in strong currents. The 5.5X size fits perfectly with my 5X fly, and the half sizes make choosing the right diameter much easier.
Colin Taylor –
Great material, very strong and easy to tie knots into. The 6.5X size worked perfectly with my larger flies. I appreciate the smooth finish and how the knots stay tight without fraying.
Stephanie Turner –
Solid performance in the water. The tippet doesn’t show much visibility, which is good for stealth. I found the 4.5X size to be a good match for my smaller flies. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the strength and reliability.
