FAQs

What makes RIO Fluoroflex Strong different?

It is made from 100% fluorocarbon and has exceptional tensile strength compared to other RIO tippets.

What's the best knot to use?

A Double Surgeon's Knot or a Blood Knot for attaching to the leader. A Clinch Knot, or Improved Clinch Knot for attaching flies.

How do I choose the right tippet size?

Consider the size of the fly and the expected size of the fish. Use a tippet that is strong enough to handle the fish but light enough to avoid spooking them.

How often should I replace my tippet?

Replace the tippet after catching a fish, after repeated use, or if it shows any signs of abrasion or wear.

Is fluorocarbon tippet more visible than monofilament?

No, fluorocarbon is less visible underwater than monofilament, which is a key advantage.

How should I store my RIO Fluoroflex Strong tippet?

Store the tippet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its strength and suppleness.

Troubleshooting

Knot Failure

Ensure knots are tied correctly, wetted before tightening, and properly seated. Check for any damage to the tippet.

Frequent Breakage

Check tippet strength against the size of your fly and the size of the target fish. Inspect for abrasion and replace the tippet if necessary.

Poor Fly Presentation

Consider using a thinner tippet size or a supple leader for improved fly presentation, particularly in clear water.
