M MAXIMUMCATCH Maxcatch Fluorocarbon Fly Fishing Tippet Material Leader Line –Virtually Invisible – 55yards 0X-6X (Made in Japan)

Packaging not designed by fly fishers for sure.I’m sure the tippet is decent but the packaging is frustrating and not thought out. See pic - this tippet is bottom and regular spool on top.Maxcatch spool is unnecessarily tall, so if you want to stack more than 2-3 the stack way too tall for most holders. And if stacked no way of knowing what the thickness is of each - that is printed on the top, no printed band or color coding. Then the only way to secure it is a slot on underside of the spool, so you can’t get tippet end into in anything but bottom spool...so will just unravel.I guess if you store your tippet in the separate containers somewhere in your vest or pack these could work and be good value. 90% of us don’t. I carry upwards of 10 different tippets.Won’t buy again until they understand stacking is important.

Comes with an excellent container to protect leader spool. The fluorocarbon leader material is strong and flexible and invisible in the water. Excellent for tippet leader. But … I ordered two spools of 5X flourocarbon and received one spool of nylon in size 1X. I specifically ordered 5X as shown in the pic by Amazon. I shall return the envelope with the wrong leader to Whole Foods/Amazon return site. I cancelled that specific order.

Pros:-Price-Caught fishCons:-Thicker than other 5x I have. This tippet likes to float and sinks slowly, even with a 2 nymph + splitshot rig. Would not recommend for euro nymphing.-Not invisible at all- I could see several feet of tippet going down into the water. I came home and tested some line in a glass of clear water and it's completely visible.-Knot strength is poor. I've fished 3 times with this line and already lost 2 flies just casting because the knot came undone. I've tied the improved clinch knot hundreds of times and never had that issue with other tippet. At this rate, I'll lose about 10 flies by the time I use up all this tippet, which more than offsets the cost of buying higher quality.

I have long been aware that there are multiple "Premium" brands that share the same manufacturing plant overseas. I'm a cyclist and outdoors person, so whether its a carbon fiber road bike or a fly fishing product or a back pack, I know it's the label that often dictates the premium price of a product. With that being said, the Maxcatch leader is made in JAPAN, the quality if the leader and the packaging is top tier. I ordered 3X, 4X, and 5X and could not be more pleased.

Fluorocarbon tippet at the price of nylon. This stuff is invisible on the water. *** The spools come without a tippet tender!!! It is absolutely dumb!!! Every bad review is based on the missing tender not the quality or price of the line. ***I purchased a pack of tenders here on Amazon from. . ." FullMoon Outfitters Tippet Spool Tenders 4-Pack Multi Color + FREE 10-Pack of 2mm Tippet Rings!!!!!.fly line, leader, tippet" *MAXCATCH put tenders on your spools and you will have 5 stars from everybody*

I just bought a second reel of this. I bought the first one skeptically and was pleased with the results. This will not fit onto a standard tippet spool, but if you're willing to trade a bit of convenience for the price, I've found it to work just fine.

The 6x tippet is strong enough and safely landed 16" plus trout on the San Juan River but I didn't like how the spool dispensed the line as there is no elastic to hold the cut line nor any kind of line holder that other brands of dispenser have. In addition, the flurocarbon tippet would twist on itself while I was tying the tippet to the fly which was quite annoying. I would not buy this product again. It's an excellent price but the two negatives I mentioned outweigh the price.

Good value for the cost.It has good knot strength.
