What is your Favorite Tippet brand?

[ozarkflyflinger57]

I would like to know what your favorite tippet materials is? Rio, SA, Orvis, etc? And if you feel like it, why do you use it?

I am not happy with what I have been using lately and thought I'd see what was the most popular here.

RIO is the best bang for your buck IMO. I use their Powerflex most of the time and it is outstanding. Frog Hair is also great but it is too expensive so I don't use it much.

I use S.A. since I can get it locally and it's cheap.
I figure it's as good as anything else out there and I don't have to pay for popularity.

I also like Rio, very reasonably priced, and good quality.

That's WHAT I got.

Orvis Super Strong or S.A. whichever is available at the time. Both products work well for me and I've never experienced any problems.

I am almost afraid to answer your questions because I know I will catch a lot of slack for my answer. I do not use what others are using. I purchase fluorocarbon mono in either 4 pound test or 6 pound test in the bulk spools which can be 250 yards up to 600 yards. I transfer this to a smaller tippet spool that fits in my vest and keep the bulk spool in the refrigerator where it is kept from heat and light which are the 2 things that can destroy mono. I can purchase the 250 yards spools for about $10 and the 600 yard spools for $24. This sounds like a lot of mono to keep on hand, but, I also make my own furled leaders and use the same mono for them. It is less expensive this way for me plus it works for me.
