A forgot to do review of the new tippet a must have! - 08/20/17 08:09 PM
Well I have gotten a little stir crazy because I have not been on the water in almost a week. Just got me to thinking I never did a report back on the new tippet. I'm sure most of you on here like me are from Texas and did not grow up flyfishing. I still have a hard time getting away from conventional beer fishing for bass. Fishing tournaments and wanting to know I have the best advantage when it came to line was seagar invisix yellow label hands down. Seagar now has yellow label grand max tippet yes it was 60$ for three spools and yes they are only 25 yards. I got trout stuff 5-6x and sandbass stuff 3x I have given both an extensive work out now after getting back from Colorado and being on the year long "run" for striper and sandbass. Exactly like they're yellow label for conventional the knot strength abrasion resistance and invisibility seems to be far superior from anything I've used. I said I was going to use up my Rio floro flex I could not take it and finally got out the grand max. I will not be switching back I have already noticed catch rates increased by Fishing side to side with friends. I will say it is a little bit stiffer than some but definitely helps turning over flies and getting nymphs down. I'm not sure I've seen it for sale anywhere yet except directly from them if you see it out there though it's definitely well worth the few extra dollars
