Tippets

Tippets are by far the most important piece of tackle that you will have on the stream. When fishing for steelhead I find it very advantageous to use Flourocarbon due to it's refactive qualities (or lack thereof) when submerged. It's important to let your presentation hang vertically in the water column so that the fish see the flies first and not the tippet. But when you want to buy flourocarbon you are usually paying an arm and a leg with some spools running to 15 dollars. I just wanted to post about some flouro I found to be really productive, and inexpensive.


Cabelas Flouro

Cabelas manufactures this for Segauar, and at 7.49$ a spool it's hard to beat.
