Our preferred fluorocarbon tippet material
Exceptionally supple, knots beautifully
Low visibility with natural, drag-free presentation
Premium fluorocarbon for trout, estuary and saltwater use
Frog Hair Fluorocarbon Tippet is the fluorocarbon we use and prefer over other brands. It combines the stealth and abrasion resistance anglers expect from fluorocarbon with a level of suppleness rarely found in this category. The result is a premium tippet that knots cleanly, presents naturally and fishes better.
Many fluorocarbons can feel stiff or wiry, making knots harder to tie and reducing presentation quality. Frog Hair stands apart with increased flexibility and a softer feel, helping flies drift more naturally while still delivering the refractive benefits fluorocarbon is known for.
Made from ultra high molecular weight PVDF fluorocarbon, it offers excellent sink rate, strong abrasion resistance and reliable strength across a wide size range. From technical trout fishing through to estuary and tropical applications, Frog Hair delivers confidence at the business end.
If you value stealth, knot strength and handling ease, this is one of the best fluorocarbons available.
