Cortland Ultra Premium - TOP SECRET Fluorocarbon Tippet
Cortland Ultra Premium - TOP SECRET Fluorocarbon Tippet is a premium fluorocarbon material from Cortland, developed after extensive research, development, and field testing. Designed for anglers who demand maximum reliability from their terminal setup, this tippet offers an exceptional balance between knot strength, suppleness, and abrasion resistance.
Cortland's special "Top Secret" formula provides an excellent combination of strength and elasticity. Thanks to its plasma coating, the material offers controlled shock absorption during hook sets without unnecessary stretch, while also allowing secure and consistent knot tightening.
The fluorocarbon construction provides low visibility underwater, high abrasion resistance, and fast sinking performance. This makes Cortland Ultra Premium an excellent choice for technical fishing, nymphs, dry flies, and streamers.
Choosing the right tippet size requires understanding the balance between diameter, strength, and presentation.
