Scientific Anglers Absolute Fluorocarbon Saltwater Supreme Fly Fishing Tippet, 12 lb

Discover a premium tippet designed for clear-water saltwater environments. The Scientific Anglers Absolute Fluorocarbon Saltwater Supreme Tippet blends a soft exterior with a rigid core, delivering a unique two-layer construction that anglers report as notably strong and dependable without sacrificing feel.

Two-layer design that balances softness and strength

The outer fluorocarbon is intentionally soft to help knots seat cleanly, while the harder core provides high tensile strength. The combination yields a supple yet resilient line that helps maintain natural drifts and a stealthy presentation.

• Up to 33% higher knot strength than typical fluorocarbon tippets.
• Soft outer layer promotes secure knots; tough core resists breaking under tension.
• Overall suppleness supports drag-free drifts in variable currents and flows.
• 100% fluorocarbon for a stealthy footprint in bright or clear water.
• Resilient material that handles demanding setups without excessive stiffness.

Practical features on the spool enhance on-water efficiency. The Supreme fluorocarbon is supplied on a patented cutter spool with an improved tippet band for quick identification and smooth dispensing, helping you stay focused on your cast.
