Some people believe that you should not have any give in your setup, from
flyline through tippet. It insures a better hookset.

If you're fishing for some of the bigger sal****er varieties, like tarpon,
most peole build in one or two bimini loops. Each gives a bit. Two loops
in 20 # test will give between a half and one inch.

I do a lot of steelhead fishing, and I have never run into anyone that had
shock tippet in their rig.

Lefty Kreh recommends it as a shock absorber between leader and flyline.
Does anyone else? Recommend it, I mean.
