I use spider wire (a braided line, not a wire) as my tippet material when I fly fish Quetico. I used to use a plastic coated wire tippet to keep pike from taking all of my flies but I was convinced that I recieved far fewer smallmouth strikes because of the heavy wire. With the super braid, I don't think that the smallies shy away and the pike can't remove my bugs as easily. I also use super braids (spider wire, tough line, Remington powr loct, power pro) on my baitcasting rods. Posted by Will V on May 27, 2002 at 18:10 |
