Tippet
Tippet is the last part of line that you tie in the leader, and attach your fly with. Tippet is made from Nylon and Fluorocarbon.
Fluorocarbon has a similar refractive index as water, which makes it nearly invisible underwater; a distinct advantage if the fish are leader shy. It is easier to untangle because it is slightly stiffer than nylon.
Nylon is a little more visible underwater, has good knot strength, floats well, and a great choice if the clarity of water is a little off or fishing dry flies.

Why every fly fishing tool kit needs a Leader Straightener:
- Super tough.
- Made of pure silicone which will never heat up no matter how long a line you run through the straightener.
- Prevents the heat that causes materials like leather and rubber to break down and weaken over time. So KIFF products last longer.
- Works with all sizes of leader from thick 50 lb. lines to small superfine 8X tippet.
- Low profile allows easy pocket storage or hang from a zinger for easy access.
- Keeps straight leader limp to help catch more fish.
