Quick take

A medium-stiff 100% fluorocarbon saltwater tippet in sizes 8–100 lb for large flies.

This 25 lb tippet comes on a 30-yard spool and is made of 100% fluorocarbon in a medium-stiff profile for saltwater fly fishing. It is meant for saltwater targets such as bonefish, permit and tarpon, and it turns over large flies. Anglers who want a clear, heavier section between their fly line and a big fly will find it fits flats and offshore work.

  • Turning over large, wind-resistant flies
  • Anglers fishing harsh saltwater conditions

Skip if

  • You fish small flies for bonefish
  • You need suppleness for delicate presentations

Strengths
