Hi all,

I have just bought some Orvis Super Strong tippet material for
making leaders, x3 x5 and x8.

I am using the standard recommended blood knot to join the lines
together, the trouble is the x5 and x8 snaps at the knot point,
given the slightest hand pressure.

I am taking this Orvis crap back to the shop ASAP, hoping for a
refund

Prior to this I had been using bog standard mono as used by coarse
fishers but thought I would be clever and buy the fly stuff as it
looked much thinner.

Who makes the best tippet material these days ?.

Thanks,

S.

Maxima either Chameleon or Green is up to you.
