Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon Tippet
A plasma finish helps provide shock absorption on hook sets without excessive stretch, while the material seats knots consistently for dependable connection to the fly. Built for nymphing, dry fly fishing, streamer fishing, and clear or pressured water, Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon Tippet delivers low underwater visibility, durability, and confidence across a wide range of applications.
Because fluorocarbon is unaffected by UV light, this tippet is designed to maintain performance longer than standard nylon options.
United States deliveries usually take 3-8 business days.

This is Top Secret
Balance is key. Cortland Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon Tippet is formulated with a plasma finish for shock absorption on hook sets while being supple enough for natural presentations.
I have great confidence in the Cortland products and Tippets. I wish I would have started using them a long time ago. I won't use anything else. The other brands of tippets, I got tired of big fish breaking off. I have been using the Cortland 3wt Euro for a long time. And I have caught steelhead up to 11 lb on it with no problem whatsoever. I do plan on purchasing your new 5wt Euro as well. Thanks.
This line of tippet has redefined the size and strength of tippet I use. The diameters and strength are unmatched in the industry. This is the best in the market.
Of my more than 25 years of fly fishing this is the best tippet I have ever used. Never lets me down where ever in the world I go!
5X and 6X have performed above expectations - and with 53 years on the water with Cortland products, I expect a lot! Great tensile (crush) strength and super low vis! Hooksets are noticeably more solid too! Just buy some and see for yourself.
Ultra premium fluoro is simply the best tippet material I’ve ever used. Not only is it super strong but it’s resilient against abrasions from rocks and big fish teeth. I use it for streamers, nymphs and drys. It allows my clients to land fish quickly so we can release them while they are still fresh.
The title says it all. Buy it. You won’t be sorry.
Love the 3.9 lb tippit worked awesome this year for rainbows. Will ne purchasing it again
Fished with the Ultra Fluoro 7x today. Caught plenty of fish. Love the 2.9lb test. I can fish with a smaller diamiter line and have the same test as 6x. I catch a lot of fish with my 7x.
This is the best out there ! Fourth year using it and only this Flouro ! Great for knots and super strong !
Great tippet material! Use it all the time.
OWe fly fished on the Missouri and the Bighorn Rivers and the Elk River in BC. We fooled a lot of big trout with light tippets.
Great knot strength and we liked how it laid out nice and straight. Because of this feature it makes tieing knots easier. Tough Tippet material
Very strong and abrasion resistant. Love this fluorocarbon tippet.
I’ve used Cortland Ultra Premium exclusively for the last 4 years. It’s good stuff. As an example just finished a trip fishing the White River in Arkansas catching 20 - 23” browns on size 18 dries and 5x Ultra Premium tippet. No failures!
The only way to go on tippet
So was a fan of the competitor (3 letter company name) and have been using that for years. A fellow guide said that he loved the Ultra Premium Flouro and recommended I try it. I put on a dry-dropper with the Cortland Ultra Premium in 6x from the tippet ring to the dry fly and 7x to the dropper. I hooked into a 21" Rainbow in fast water under a waterfall and it gave me a ride. There were 8 hard runs by the Rainbow (across currents, upstream and downstream) and the 7x tippet held. It even held when the trout made a run for some rocks and I had to steer it away to keep in open space. What made me even more amazed was somehow my fly line was wrapped around the rod between the 1st and 2nd guide, and wasn't spooling out freely. Even with that additional stress on the tippet, the Ultra Premium 7x held on and I was able to land this nice fish. I don't believe for a second that my old favorite tippet would have held on long enough to land the fish. I won't use anything else now.
The Best Tippet I ever fished with, and I've fly fished Coast to Coast !
I use 4, 5, 6x for trout throwing dries, nymph rigs, wet flies, and streamers. I've used the same piece of tippet for an entire day of fishing catching 20 + fish on a small mountain trout stream all while pulling out tree branches from the bottom or the far side, wrapped around submerged branches by fish, snags, and everything in between and didn't break or show signs of needed changed at all. I use the 3, 2, 1, 0, and 01 x for salmon and steelhead. I've landed mid-high teens pound salmon on this tippet slinging streamers on a two handed rod and handled pulling salmon like a champ. From large migrating salmon and steelhead to small and large mouth bass and down to tiny mountain stream native brookies and wild browns, it does it all.
Landing Large Fish on 6X on BIG Western Rivers is challenging--Top Secret Fluoro meets that test!
Strong and you can downsize, a win/win. Been using it for years and never disappoints.
