Rio GT Mono Tippet
The Rio GT Mono Tippet is the ultimate choice for Giant Trevally fishing, featuring larger mono diameters and high break strength to resist being cut off on coral and sharp underwater structures. It is supple enough to seat larger saltwater knots properly, ensuring reliable performance in tough conditions. Unlike strong fluorocarbon, which sinks faster than nylon at larger diameters and disrupts fly presentation, the GT Mono Tippet uses level monofilament with 100lb+ breaking strength, offering a balanced solution for effective and natural fishing action.
- Maximum abrasion resistance
- Available in extremely high break strengths with a large diameter
- Supple enough to form a secure knot with larger saltwater knots

Used this tippet for Giant Trevally fishing on coral reefs. It held up well under pressure and didn’t break when the fish ran hard. The knot seating was solid and the line didn’t sink too fast, which helped with fly presentation. Very reliable in rough conditions.
Andrew North –
Fished with this tippet during a strong season. It stayed intact even when the fish tried to run off structure. The strength and abrasion resistance are excellent for reef environments.

Good performance in heavy fishing situations. A bit stiff when first handling, but settles in. Works well with larger knots and holds up on sharp rocks.
