Ideal for saltwater, this tippet has been acclaimed throughout the world and has a great reputation for reliability. Highly abrasion–resistant and slightly stiffer than Powerflex and Fluoroflex Plus. Recommended for saltwater and anadromous species. 15 to 50 yards per spool, depending on the weight.

Customer Review: Number Of Reviews: 1 40 of 94 people found the following review helpful: Not Very Good in the Lighter Sizes 00/00/0000 Reviewer: Luke from Bethany, MO US I was given some 5x, 6x and 7x of this tippet material and was surprised by how different it felt than the tippet I was used to (I usually use RIO Fluoroflex Plus or Orvis Mirage). It is a lot stiffer and I had issues with knot strength. I tied some 6x of the Fluoroflex to 7x Fluoroflex Plus and then pulled until one broke. The 6x Fluoroflex broke 8 out of 10 times. It may be okay in the heavier lines but I recommend going with something different in the lighter lines. Was this review helpful to you?
