Fluorocarbon Tippett

Fluorocarbon Material is made from a material having the same light refraction as water. It virtually disappears in the water making it impossible for the fish to detect! The hard, smooth surface of Fluorocarbon creates less friction and heat on the material as you tighten your knot, therefore, knots are stronger.

Frog Hair

Frog Hair Tippet Material

Frog Hair Tippet and Leader material is superior because our material is subjected to GAMMA’s propriety process. The process produces a material that offers exacting tolerances, super high tensile and knot strength and up to two times the suppleness and shock resistance compared to all other brands of tippets and leaders. For the angler, Frog Hair provides a more natural presentation with more hook-ups and a line that generates maximum fish fighting capabilities. Frog Hair Products are truly your new, competitive advantage.

Frog Hair Fluorocarbon Tippet Material

Frog Hair FC is an ultra high molecular weight PVDF fluorocarbon made using GAMMA’s 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.

w/Perfection Loop - Supple Tip Tapered Leaders have an extra supple butt section to provide a tighter loop and a softer turnover for the most stealthy presentation possible. The ultra supple tippet offers superior knot strength, incredible toughness, and built-in shock resistance with the most natural, drag-free presentation of any tapered leader.

w/Perfection Loop - Frog Hair FC High Performance Fluorocarbon tapered leaders have a stiffer butt section to optimize the energy transfer from the fly line and a supple tippet that offers superior knot strength, incredible toughness, and built-in shock resistance to deliver a more stealthy, drag-free presentation compared to other fluorocarbon tapered leaders. The extra long taper section (over 60% of the leader length) is engineered to combine with the heavier, high density fluorocarbon and provide an optimal weight distribution along the length of the leader for exceptional roll out and a more powerful turnover.
