Rio Powerflex Plus Tippet

Rio Powerflex Plus Tippet is the newest and strongest nylon tippet material ever made, with tensile strengths up to 20% more than regular tippet. A highly technical formulation of the nylon copolymer manufacturing process has resulted in this prodigious strength increase, without compromising knot strength or suppleness. Simply put, this is the strongest, most reliable tippet ever made. Each spool has the added bonus of 50 yards of tippet.

The tippet is held in place on the spool by a handy rubber band with a hole, which shows the tippet size. The spool is small enough to carry with you, yet wide enough in diameter that the tippet does not develop significant memory. Thanks to its suppleness, Powerflex Plus also straightens more easily than other lines.
