Quick take
High-visibility two-tone fly tippet with color breaks for reading tight-line nymph presentations.
This nylon fly tippet alternates short fluorescent color sections, so the break between colors shows up clearly against the water. It suits tight-line and European-style nymphing, where a visible sighter helps you watch for takes. The 3X spool carries 30 yards and tests at around 7 pounds.
