Default Tippets

Frog Hair Fluorocarbon tipper 25m = $12.99 (give or take)
In ads you see... frog or George Harvey.

Climax Fluorocarbon tipper 30m = $9.95 (give or take)
In ads you see... Hot lady in silver bikini.

So is Frog hair worth the extra money. I have never used Fluorocarbon, or
frog hair for that matter. I have used Climax and it seemed just fine to me
(not Fluorocarbon )
Rio seems fine as well.
So I ask ...
Frog, old guy, less product, more money.
or
Hot chick, more product, less money.
While OT ... is Fluorocarbon worth the extra couple bucks?

Lots of different opinions on this subject. (Big surprise!) I use
Climax, Orvis Super Stong, and Tectan. All have worked well for me, and
after giving Flourocarbon a fling, I see no reason to change.

You see no reason to change what? It may be obvious but well.... I have
been drinking.... it's been one of those days that I am just not proud
of....
oh well.....
Anyway...
You like Fluorocarbon (worth extra $ ) or not?
Tomorrow it may be clear, but today.....
good thing I have spellcheck ;-)

I see no reason to change from mono to flouro. Others mileage will vary.
