I’ve used this tippet for several salmon fishing trips and it holds up well under pressure. The knotting is easy and the material doesn’t fray. The 12lb spool worked perfectly for my fly setup and the packaging is convenient for storage.
Samantha Bailey –
Good strength and durability. I used the 16lb tippet in rough water conditions and it didn’t break. The visibility is low, which helps when fishing in clear water. A reliable choice for steelhead.
