How long of a tippet do you use?

[planettrout]

I'm reading Allen McGee's book about soft-hackled nymphs. He says that when fishing (for trout) he uses long tippets (same diameter) of 26" to 30". Just curious: how long are the tippets are you folks are using?

I guess I'm concerned that a 30" 6X tippet is kind of unruly.

Look at the leader formulas in Allen's book on the bottom of pg. 55 and top of pg. 56, he's using 30" of tippet material, for the terminal end,. on the GH Slack Leader. That being said, I have gone even longer...no problemo.
