I do have my challenges with knots in the wind, cold and low/no light. Has
anybody used this system before or is it strictly for sal****er? No-Knots Tippet to Leader System Never tie another barrel or surgeons' knot! The No Knots Tippet to Leader System allows you to take full advantage of the turnover power and supple characteristics of bimini tippets and switch quickly from 3X to 5X tippet without having to spend valuable stream time tying tippet to leader knots. Everything you need including 2 knotless leaders with perfection loops on both ends, 5 knotless bimini tippets on a spool and simple instructions. http://www.orvis.com/store/product_c...re_id=&dir_id= 758&group_id=2482&cat_id=5645&subcat_id=7421&shop_ id= Chris, who appreciates that none of you commented on my weight when viewing my 35+ pound Chinook on alt.binaries.pictures.fishing. Come to think of it no one commented on Randy the "bugcasters" fine TR either? Was gear fishing for salmon to OT for this group? G |

No-Knots Tippet to Leader System Save "valuable stream time" by spending $15.95 for two leaders and five tippets, rather than $11.85 for 2 standard Orvis knotless leaders and a spool of standard tippet material, which for me provides on average 20-30 tippets. I know I grow ever more cynical with age, but this strikes me as just more of the P.T. Barnum marketing that permeates the FFing "industry". JR |

It looks like they use some level line double end looped. That means one more loop than I have now to pick up and clean the pond scum, frog spittle and green goop off. It is not clear from the write up how this material would cast a large popping bug as well as a tapered, no knot monofilament leader would. For big bass bug casting, since I rarely switch from 3X to 5X tippet, it is not clear what advantage looped tippet material brings to the party. For bass fishing with all of my leader's wind knots and, memory curls, stressed places and other damage I inflect, I'd probably throw away most leaders before replacing the tippet! LOL For trout fishing dries, I'd have the same concerns. But for wets on sinking lines, steelhead, salmon and salt water it may be OK FWIW. Are you going to try it? John |

there are a lot of people who ae challenged to tie knots because of
arthritus, etc. and this would be a good system for them. I use a loop to loop system when I fish and it is not quite so easy. I use the poly leaders sold by most of the fly line companies which is similar. I find that about the only way that you can remove the tippet loop form the leader loop is to cut it off. If there is a big difference between the diameter of the leader loop and the tippet loop, it is almost impossible to get the "handshake" connection that Orvis portrays. If you do not get it perfectly, you end up cutting off the tippet. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...
