I’ve used this tippet on several trout streams and it makes a big difference in how the fly moves. The softness allows the fly to float naturally, and it doesn’t tangle easily. Works well with small dry flies and nymphs.
David Murray –
The tippet is very thin and doesn’t interfere with the fly’s action. I noticed better hook-ups when using it compared to standard tippets. Great for delicate presentations.
Madeleine Ferguson –
It’s soft and strong, and the 5X size fits perfectly with my small stream trout setup. A little more expensive, but worth it for the performance.

Used it during a cold water trip and the tippet held up well. The supple feel is noticeable and helps the fly move like it’s in the water naturally.
