No matter if you are trying to extend your leader or if you are running multiple flies on your line, this stuff is a must-have on any river or lake. I always keep a few different sizes in my bag and won't hit the river without it.

I look no further than RIO whenever I need new tippet. This stuff always works flawlessly, as long as my knots do! For the trout guys, pick some up in 5x, 6x, and 7x and be covered for all situations!

I pair RIO Powerflex tippet with RIO leaders and the fish can't stay off. I've always preferred RIO over Umpqua or Orvis. I like Powerflex for dries, and I step up to fluoroflex when nymphing or throwing streamers

Not quite as strong as fluoro, but it does the job. It's just your standard nylon leader.

Love this Tippet! If I am building a leader or simply replacing the tippet end of the line this is my go to. Incredibly strong, supple and responsive. I have it in 3,4,5, & 6X.

I always take this tippet with me when I go fish the 1x-8x. It has caught me plenty of fish and I can trust it. Holds knots strong and good overall tippet strength!

Doesn't last as long as fluoro, but nylon gets the job done at about half the price. I prefer the rio tippet spools as they lock together well and they don't unspool easily thanks to the elastic cover.

I stick with rio because the spools are so easily managed. The spools all lock together tight and make for an easy to use system.
