Quick take
A 3-pack of nylon fly tippet in sizes 3X to 5X with a holder to organize and protect from UV.
This is a three-spool set of fluorocarbon fly tippet in 3X, 4X and 5X, with 55 yards on each spool. Color-coded retainer bands keep each spool tight and easy to tell apart, and a tippet holder keeps the set together on the water. It suits fly anglers who want a range of fine sizes for stepping down a leader to small flies.
