FAQs

What is the recommended knot for this tippet?

The Blood Knot or the Uni Knot are excellent choices for connecting to your leader. For attaching flies, the improved clinch knot or the Palomar knot are reliable options.

How do I store the tippet properly?

Store the tippet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain its strength and performance.

How often should I replace the tippet?

Replace the tippet regularly, especially after it has been exposed to abrasion or if you notice any wear and tear. It's also a good practice to replace it after a few fishing trips or if you've been snagged often.

Is this tippet suitable for saltwater fishing?

While the Drennan Subsurface Monofilament Tippet - Green is suitable for various conditions, consider a saltwater-specific tippet for the best results in harsh saltwater environments.

What does the green colour do?

The green colour helps camouflage the tippet in the water, making it less visible to fish, thus improving the presentation of your fly.

How do I choose the correct tippet diameter?

Select the tippet diameter based on the size of the fish you're targeting and the water conditions. Clearer water and wary fish require finer tippets, while larger fish require stronger ones.

Troubleshooting

Knot failure.

Ensure knots are tied correctly and tightened properly. Inspect the tippet for any damage before use and consider re-tying if knots are weak.

Line visibility.

Use the appropriate tippet diameter for the water clarity and the species you're targeting. The green colour helps, but consider lighter tippet in clear conditions.

Tippet breaks frequently.

Check for any sharp edges on your flies or tackle that might be causing abrasion. Use a tippet that matches the weight of your target fish and angling style.
