It's almost impossible to overstress the importance of good leaders and tippet material. Absolutely everything else in an angler's ap­proach can be as near perfect as it is possible to make it, but if that tell-tale line attached to the fly lets him down for any reason, the game is lost. It's as simple as that.

FLUOROCAR­BON TIPPET MATERIAL

Hardy has combed the world to find the finest fluorocar­bon available

The material is perfect for nymph fishing in crystal water for the wiliest of fish because it is virtually invisible

Because it is denser than water, Hardy's fl­uorocarbon tippet material will sink perfectly, giving you the ultimate in presenta­tion

Fluorocar­bon is very abrasion-resistant, perfect for the big fish angler in difficult situations

Available in twenty-five metre or thirty metre spools based on breaking stra­in
