Steven .........
Let see: A spool of Orvis Mirage Fluorocarbon tippet material goes for $9.95 for a 40 meter spool of material from 7X-0X.
That?s about 120 feet or 1440 inches.
Say you make your tippets 24" long, you will be able to make 60 tippets.
That comes to $0.166 pet tippet change.
But remember that you will be able to tie on at least 2 or 3 fly changes on each tippet. So, you can cut that figure in half at least.
I think we can afford that.
