Best tippets

[ohiotuber]

I agree with ridgeliner & Diane...Frog's Hair. A fine line of products & also an FAOL sponsor. At shows, they provide excellent information & will field all questions. IMHO, a real good outfit!

Mono 1X-8X - Orvis Super Strong, no complaints and I've been using it for ever. For the days I feel challenged, Varivas Mono in 9X-10X.

Fluoro 6X-8X - Varivas or Rio Powerflex, amazingly strong in the 7x I use all the time.

Rio all the way for me. Had problems with Orvis. I love the floroflex the best for trout, it has in my best guess saved the day for me in the 7x range. Like the poohbah says you gotta make up your mind as to what you like in a leader. Unfortunatly this requires some denero. I do think the rio flouro is over priced but it works so well....... for me!

I just use quality flourocarbon fishing line for tippets. P-Line and Seaguar are good brands. Leader material can be total garbage because its gonna break at the tippet.

I use blood knots for line to line and the trilene knot for the line to hook. These are the knots I learned as a steelheader and they are proven on big fish.

Look into Airflo leaders, and their Sightfree Fluorocarbon tippit, it comes in 50 meter where Orvis is 30 and Scientific is 25 meters ans only a few dollars more. Most guides are going to the Fluoro tippit.
I have been using it for years, you can use a 5X where everyone else is using a 7X in clear water.

I have been happy with Orvis Mirage
