Absolute Trout Tippet

A tippet is a thin, strong line that connects your fly (the bait) to the thicker leader line. It’s crucial because it allows you to use a lighter line that is less visible to fish, increasing your chances of catching them. Choosing the right tippet size and strength can significantly enhance your fishing success.

Knot strength refers to how well a knot holds when tied in a fishing line. A higher knot strength means your knot is less likely to break under tension, which is vital for preventing the loss of fish. Ensuring you use strong knots can make a big difference in your overall catch rate.

Copolymer blends are made from two or more different polymers, engineered to enhance specific properties of fishing lines. These blends often have reduced water absorption and increased flexibility, which can improve your line's performance in various water conditions, making them a great choice for serious anglers.

Wet knot strength measures how well a knot holds when the fishing line is wet, which is common in fishing. A higher wet knot strength ensures that your knot remains secure even after being submerged, reducing the risk of losing fish due to knot failure when the line is wet.

Proprietary refers to materials or technologies that are owned by a specific company and not available for use by others without permission. In the case of fishing gear, proprietary blends, like those used in Absolute Tippet, are developed to provide unique advantages, such as enhanced performance and durability, giving you an edge while fishing.

Choosing the right tippet size and strength depends on the type of fish you are targeting and the conditions you are fishing in. Generally, lighter tippets are used for smaller fish in clear water, while heavier tippets are better for larger fish or in murky conditions. Always consider the test weight and match it to your leader line for optimal performance.
