Rio Saltwater Mono Tippet

Rio Saltwater Mono Tippet delivers the brute strength and reliability you need when battling powerful saltwater gamefish, ensuring your connection holds when it matters most.

This monofilament tippet material is specifically designed for the harsh demands of saltwater fly fishing. It's an excellent choice for building leaders or adding tippet sections when targeting species like bonefish, permit, snook, redfish, striped bass, and smaller tarpon. Its formulation provides outstanding knot strength, a critical factor when dealing with the sudden surges and sustained pressure from strong marine fish.

Rio Saltwater Mono excels in environments where durability is paramount. Whether casting around abrasive coral heads, sharp oyster bars, mangrove roots, or barnacle-encrusted structure, its high abrasion resistance helps prevent break-offs. The material offers a balanced stiffness that aids in turning over saltwater flies effectively, even in wind, while still maintaining enough suppleness for a natural presentation.
