Product information "Scientific Anglers Absolute Tri-Color Sighter Tippet"

Absolute - this is the short and concise name of the new leader range from Scientific Anglers.

All Absolute monofilament leaders from Scientific Anglers are made from a special nylon blend that drastically reduces the absorption of water while ensuring optimum suppleness for high knot strength. Absolute nylon leaders and tippets have a 29% higher wet knot strength compared to previous Scientific Anglers materials and up to 40% higher wet knot strength compared to many other products on the market.

The Absolute Tri-Colour Sighter from Scientific Anglers is the perfect addition to any Euro Nymph Leader. This is because nymphing techniques in the stretched line style (e.g. 'French nymphing') do not use classic bite indicators on the water surface, as these unnaturally accelerate the free drift of the nymph near the bottom. Instead, sighters are used that do not bear the weight of the nymph. The bites are sensed thanks to special rigs, leaders and sensitive rods (#2 - #4).

This sighter from Scientific Anglers is used for 'Euro Nymphing' - as the nymphing techniques are often summarised - to better observe the leader and the drift. The monofilament is coloured so that it can be optimally seen when suspended in the air against many different backgrounds. It changes colour approximately every 25 cm (fluo green/white/fluo orange) and can be shortened from the 10m spool to the appropriate length.

This popular sighter material is available in different diameters so that you can create your own customised leader. As usual, you can connect a small Pitzenbauer ring between the tippet and sighter as a secure connection or knot a Perfection Loop into the Two Tone Indicator. You can choose the fluorocarbon or nylon tippet (we recommend the slightly stiffer Stroft ABR for nymph fishing) depending on the water level and the target fish.

A typical rig looks like this: Nymph leader (between 12 and 30 ft.) + 30 cm sight leader + 150cm to 200cm leader tip
