Product information "Rio Fluoroflex Strong 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, sophisticated product solutions and reliable performance on the water worldwide.
The Rio Fluoroflex Strong Tippet is a reinforced fluorocarbon leader material that has been specially developed for situations where special abrasion resistance and high resilience are required. It combines the almost invisible properties of fluorocarbon with a robust, stable structure that reliably withstands contact with hard obstacles such as stones, mussels or corals. These properties make it the ideal choice for demanding freshwater and saltwater fishing as well as for targeted fishing for strong and powerful species.
Fluoroflex Strong offers a controlled line structure with very good knot strength and low memory, which enables clean handling and easy knot adjustments. The moderate stiffness supports direct bite detection and ensures reliable power transmission during the fight. With the 30 yds spool, you have enough material for a wide range of applications and can adapt your leader precisely to the technique, water and target fish.

- Almost invisible under water
