Fluorocarbon Tippets...

[Flyrodde]

Is there anyone out there that has a specific Brand they like to use? I use Orvis Superstrong mono tippet and love it, but I don?t have the money to try several different brands of fluoro. I will be using it this fall for Salmon to help with abrasion and to get the fly down faster, however minute the advantages. I will most likely use 6-10lb class depending on the fish. Any help will be most appreciated.

I only use Rio. I've used it for years and I think it outlasts anythng else on the market.

And to answer questions that I know will pop up, yes I have used almost every product on the market over the years. The Rio is my favorite.

Ihave only used Orvis and RIO and seem to like the Rio better,Rio is softer or so it seems to me.

Thanks for the input. Has anyone used seaguar?

[J Castwell]

I do. They invented the stuff. Nothing can equal it; legally. Long time sponsor.

Tell me if I'm wrong or if things have changed....I think by the published specifications Seaguar is the strongest....diameter vs # test....

[LadyFisher]

Hey Duck? You are correct. We saw a demo of the Seaguar against various other brands of the same diameter...amazing.

[Bamboozle]

While I can't comment on Seaguar in the 6-10lb class I do use their 8X and to say it strong for it's diameter would be an understatement.

The stuff is AMAZING!!

It's #1 on my list followed closely by Rio FluoroFlex PLUS.

I use Precision Fluorocarbon. This was recommended from a friend that fishes both bass and trout around here. I tried it, and it was either a 'good luck day' or a change of tippet that brought in more fish. I caught almost twice as many as I normally caught. (Some were smaller than normal and went back to grow some more.) I'm certainly not saying that changing the tippet was the only reason, but I think it sure helped because I used the same type of flies that day and the river level didn't change.

DianeID...are you saying you changed from another brand of fluoro ..or did you change from mono to fluoro?
