I prefer having spools containing 100m rather than 30m. I change my tippet quite often while nymphing so with the regular 30m spools I’m through it in 1 day.
So what’s the deal Zach, you can get them cheaper or for free? Because I’m interested!

No idea if that’s a reputable seller though. $32… ouch.
I just put a Lamson 3.5 with a Clouser line on my 8 wt. The line works really well on the S3s and the reel is sweet. I am waiting on a spare spool to put a glow in the dark Rio Striper line on. Rio is also making the Sage lines this year. I guess thy got it goin on. Purple tippet oh well whatever works!
go fluoroflex or go home
i’m guilty on that one
You have to wonder how trout are actually seeing tippet if they can see light outside of the spectrum visible to the human eye. I wonder what the UV would be like from tippet.
One of my acquaintances who works for Umpqua once said, “those who use cheap mono for tippet have only themselves to blame for the results.”
I don’t know about Dai-Riki/Dan Bailey, but tippet, leaders, and hooks are the three things I refuse to buy off-brand.
Zach,
I have one of the Cortland Clear Camo intermediates (“slime line”) for salmon fishing, which actually does a remarkable job of blending in. Some tarpon/permit guys swear by those intermediate tip lines though – go figure.
