Hi,

Just wondering what you are fishing for with 14 Lb tippet.
I fish for salmon alot of the time and I have never fished a tippet above 10 Lb and most of the time I fish 8 Lb. My backing is always 20 Lb. The biggest salmon to date is a 30 lb salmon on 8 Lb test. This fish took 35 minutes to land and I never saw my fly line for the first 25 minutes. I just couldn't amagine using a 14 Lb tippet. The fly wouldn't have to much movement.

My 2 cents worth,
