Product information "Rio Fluoroflex Freshwater Tippet 30 yds Spool Fluorocarbon Leader Material"

Rio is a renowned American manufacturer of premium fly lines and leader materials and stands for the highest quality, innovative products and reliable performance on the water worldwide.

The Rio Fluoroflex Freshwater Tippet is a high-quality fluorocarbon leader material that has been specially developed for use in freshwater. It combines excellent invisibility under water with high abrasion resistance and very good knot strength, making it ideal for demanding trout and predator presentations. Fluorocarbon has a similar light refraction to water and therefore quickly becomes "invisible" under the surface, which brings clear advantages for cautious fishing.

Fluoroflex offers a controlled, slender line structure which, in combination with low memory, enables clean handling and simple knot adjustments. The moderate stiffness ensures direct contact with the fly and precise bite detection, while the high abrasion resistance offers safety in areas with a lot of structure such as obstacles, mussels or rocks. With the 30 yds spool, you have enough material for various situations on the water and can adjust your leader precisely to the water and technique.

The advantages of fluorocarbon:

  • Almost invisible under water
  • High abrasion resistance
  • Very good knot strength
  • Low memory for clean handling
  • Stiffer structure for direct bite detection
