Tiemco TMC Fluorocarbon Stealth Tippet 50 m

Stealth Fluorocarbon from Tiemco lives up to its name! Because this leader material is almost invisible under water. The Japanese quality material is suitable for a variety of freshwater and saltwater fisheries and is supplied on practical Super Large Arbor spools.

Fluorocarbon offers several advantages over conventional monofilament nylon: On the one hand, FC has a comparable light refraction index to water and becomes almost invisible underwater. Especially in crystal clear waters places where the effect of the leader plays a big role, nylon often cannot keep up. On the other hand, fluorocarbon has a higher density and sinks easily, while nylon floats on the surface. For this reason and also because of its higher abrasion resistance, FC is often used for salmon, streamer or nymph fishing. In saltwater, too, fluorocarbon is now the first choice for many fly fishers, because it is precisely there that obstacles in the water can often cause additional friction - both on the Baltic Coast and in the tropics. In addition, fluorocarbon is significantly more UV-resistant than nylon and its strength does not diminish even with prolonged use.

With a wide range of diameters, this FC leader material from Tiemco covers all common use scenarios and is a clear buy recommendation due to its great knot strength and quality workmanship according to Japanese standards! We also particularly like the practical Super Large Arbor design of the spools, which minimises memory.

Note: When extending a monofilament leader with a fluorocarbon tippet, it is essential to use a suitable knot or a tippet ring. Otherwise there is a risk that the fluorocarbon will cut through the monofilament or strongly influence its carrying capacity.
