Tippet

A tippet is a length of fine, lightweight fishing line or material attached to the end of a thicker fishing line, used in fly fishing. Its purpose is to provide a more natural presentation of the bait or lure and to improve sensitivity and hook-setting ability. The tippet helps make the fly appear more lifelike to fish and can also be replaced easily without changing the entire fishing line. It is available in various materials and sizes, allowing anglers to choose based on target species and fishing conditions.
