Umpqua Perform X Nylon Tippet – premium nylon tippet
Umpqua Perform X delivers the “Holy Grail” of fly-fishing leaders – a unique blend of strength, durability, and suppleness. Thanks to its three-layer construction, this nylon has exceptional performance: the core provides the perfect balance of strength and flexibility for a natural drift, the hydrophobic coating prevents water absorption, and the outer layer ensures a smooth and reliable material for everyday use.
This tippet is ideal for both wary trout and larger fish, maintaining excellent knot strength and elasticity. It is also perfectly suited for dry fly fishing, since it floats on the surface. Each spool comes with a practical Umpqua ProBand holder for quick and easy access.
