I've been using the Hook and Hackle Floro tippet for over two years. I love it! 50 yard spools for about $9. I fish dries with it all the time with no issues. My fishing buddies think it's a bit stiff, but it works well for me.

I however am not a big fan what so ever of the ultra green Beware IMOOriginally Posted by NJTroutbum
I use Frogshair for the lower half of my leaders. Most of the time (95%) I use their flourocarbon in 4x or 5x for tippets. As a backup measure I carry Orvis superfine in 6x to 4x . I fish small woodland or brushy creeks and use soft hackles or flymphs.
Perhaps the most important aspect of tippet is the ratio of tippet to hook/fly size. There are general charts available that tell you what "X" (diameter size) tippet will generally work best with different hook sizes. Just google search on "tippet to hook size"
Stage 1, I actually spool my spinning gear with ultra-green. But it doesn't handle abrasion as well as some:^) I still have some of the maxima 50/50 leaders in ultragreen and Chameleon. The fact that I still have them in the original packets says something:^)
We are having issue up here with Knots on the ultra green.. they seem to back off.... Not just myself either....
