Frog Hair High Performance tippet materials are state-of-the-art, patent pending monofilaments made from a high strength co-polymer that is subjected to GAMMAs exclusive proprietary process.

Frog Hair Fluorocarbon Tippet--25m

Sun, 8 Feb 2009 09:47:00 PST

Frog Hair FC is an ultra high molecular weight PVDF fluorocarbon made using GAMMAs exclusive processing technology. Unlike other fluorocarbon monofilaments that are very rigid and stiff, Frog Hair FC is processed to increase the flexibility of the material and provide up to two times the suppleness of other typical fluorocarbon monofilaments. The added suppleness compliments the refractive qualities of fluorocarbon to deliver the most stealthy, drag-free presentation possible and increase your catch rate. This tippet is manufactured using the same exclusive technology used to make Frog Hair Fluorocarbon leaders. Just like the leaders, this revolutionary tippet material has built-in shock resistance with the highest combination of strength, diameter and suppleness compared to all other leading tippet materials for stronger knots that draw down smooth and tight. Comes on a 25-meter spool.

John Gray on the Watauga River in North Carolina using a Prince Nymph John writes: Attached is a photo that I am submitting for your website. It captures one of the best fishing memories I have. I was guiding two kids this summer on the Watauga River in Boone, North Carolina. They were probably seven- and nine-years old, respectively, and neither had done any fishing before, not even with a cane pole. Their parents were standing on the bank watching. I got the youngest one in the water first. I had him hold the rod while I put my hand over his to help him cast. He was just too young to have any chance of getting a decent cast. He could barely hold the rod by himself. On about the third drift a pretty good fish by North Carolina standards hit a #16 prince nymph which I bought from your shop. As you may know, I am a long time customer of Big Y. While I did help him set the hook, I let him bring the fish in on his own with a little bit of coaching. The attached photo is the result. This was a great memory for me, the fisherman and the entire family. Thanks for considering my entry and for letting me tell you about a great memory for me, even though I never wet a line that day.
