Umpqua Perform X Nylon Tippet

The best presentation for your fly

Umpqua Perform X Nylon Tippet delivers the Holy Grail in tippet performance – brute strength and resiliency. Three-layer construction gives Umpqua's new nylon unique properties. The core offers the right blend of strength and suppleness to allow a perfectly dead drifted fly to entice the wariest Trout, whilst a secret blend results in the strength to bring the fish to net. Hydrophobic coating keeps the nylon from absorbing water throughout the day which historically results in weaker knots and overall tinsel strength. The third layer is a continuous coating which creates smooth, consistent, and reliable material. All of Umpqua's X rated tippet includes a custom Umpqua ProBand to keep tippet at the ready, right where you left it.

Why nylon?
Nylon offers unique advantages to anglers. It's softer and more flexible than fluorocarbon. Nylon has a good knot strength, floats high on surface for dry fly fishing, and more elastic than fluorocarbon. Common knots can be used with good results.
