Great quality and easy to use. The transition from butt to tippet is smooth and strong. I’ve used it for both trout and larger terrestrial insects. Works well with my hopper rig and feels solid in the water.
Adam Cameron –
The 3-pack is a good value. It’s durable and performs well in both still and moving water. A bit stiff at first, but settles in quickly. Works great with my dropper setup.

Perfect for beginners. The taper is strong and easy to tie on. I’ve used it for several trips and it hasn’t broken under pressure. The 7.5-foot length is just right for most fly patterns.
