Quick take
A 30-meter spool of 7x copolymer tippet with high wet-knot strength for small trout flies.
The 7X size of this Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Tippet comes on a 30-meter spool and tests at 2.4 pounds, a fine diameter for small dry flies and delicate presentations. Its copolymer material absorbs little water, and a silicone band on the spool and a built-in cutter spool make it easy to carry and cut. Trout anglers fishing rivers or still water with dries, nymphs or indicator rigs will find it a suitable choice.
