The Umpqua Perform X leaders and tippets are meticulously designed from A to Z, tailored for their respective purposes.

From delicate trout fishing to targeting salmon, pike, and more, a wide spectrum of diverse fishing scenarios is covered.
Trout Nylon Tippet
Umpqua describes their Perform X Nylon Tippets as the holy grail of performance - raw strength and resilience combined with suppleness. The three-layer construction of this new nylon imparts unique material properties. A core layer provides the right blend of strength and suppleness to perfectly present your fly while ensuring the necessary durability for landing powerful fish. The hydrophobic coating ensures the nylon remains dry throughout the day, preventing weaker knots and overall reduced tensile strength. The third layer is a continuous coating that produces a smoother, more consistent, and reliable surface. All X-rated leaders come with a special Umpqua ProBand to prevent unwanted unspooling.
