Cortland Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon Tippet is built around a premium fluorocarbon formula designed to balance abrasion resistance, suppleness, knot strength, and long lasting performance. Developed through extensive research, material refinement, and field testing, this tippet gives anglers the strength and handling needed for technical trout fishing.
A plasma finish helps provide shock absorption on hook sets without excessive stretch, while the material seats knots consistently for dependable connection to the fly. Built for nymphing, dry fly fishing, streamer fishing, and clear or pressured water, Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon Tippet delivers low underwater visibility, durability, and confidence across a wide range of applications.
Because fluorocarbon is unaffected by UV light, this tippet is designed to maintain performance longer than standard nylon options.
