Product information "Rio Fluoroflex Saltwater 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, well thought-out product selection and reliable performance in all conditions - even in saltwater.

The Rio Fluoroflex Saltwater Tippet is a high-quality fluorocarbon leader material that has been specially developed for the requirements of saltwater fishing. It combines outstanding invisibility under water with high abrasion resistance and excellent knot strength, making it the ideal choice for demanding sea and coastal fishing. Fluorocarbon has a similar light refraction to water, making it almost invisible under the surface, which is a real advantage when fishing for cautious saltwater fish such as bonefish, permit, tarpon or snook.

Fluoroflex Saltwater offers a controlled, slim line structure which, in combination with low memory, enables clean handling and simple knot adjustments. The increased abrasion resistance gives you confidence when fishing around hard structures such as corals, shells or rock edges, while the moderate stiffness and direct feedback ensures precise bite detection. With the 30 yds spool, you have enough material for versatile saltwater applications and can match your leader precisely to your technique and target fish.

The advantages of fluorocarbon:

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