New Jersey Posts: 3	I agree with martin RIO Flouroflex is the best hands downs. Frog hair is second. For mono tippet RIO and Frog Hair are neck and neck.

portsmouth, nh Posts: 8	I made the switch to fluorocarbon a few years ago...I really like Rio's fluroflex plus for my tippets. Prior to fluorocarbon, I used mostly Orvis super strong. I have tried Frog Hair (only in fc) and I hated it because my knots constantly slipped, particularly the tippet-fly connection. In saltwater I use mostly nylon (Maxima chameleon for the butt section and ultra green for tippets). The abrasion resistance in both materials is superior IMO. I fish mostly for stripers and have not found them to be leader shy at all, even on the flats.

York & Starlight PA Posts: 832	I only use it in 6x for the Catskills and 7x for some of the little streams I fish in PA. I prefer Climax or Rio fluorocarbon in 4x - 6x for most of my fishing but the Puglisi material is nice and limp but it is not readily available other than at the web site Louis mentioned once.
