Not to be confused with braided leaders, I wanted to know if any one's tried this new tippet material yet!?
I thought, "floats and 15 times, stronger than steel", to be quite interesting!

"Quoted from trade show Magazine".....................

We first saw this interesting new tippet material at the Fly Fishing Retailer show in Denver in September. At the time, production issues prevented RIO from handing out samples, but apparently those issues are resolved and the new braided Extreme Tippet is good to go. The new material is actually 100% braided Dyneema, which floats on water and is 15 times stronger than steel. (By the way, we asked Simon Gawesworth of RIO what affect the leader's buoyancy has on a nymph. His answer: "It is so thin that there is no effect on it. It floats if you cut off a piece and throw it on the water without a fly on, but with a weighted nymph on -- even of normal weight -- it will cut through the water easily.") RIO is touting the tippet's sensitivity and recommends it for use in Czech nymphing and other techniques where bite detection is paramount. The suggested retail price for Extreme Tippet is $8.95 for a 20 yard spool. (End quote)
Just, imagine........... a tank made out of tippet material??!!
