RIO Indicator Tippet

The main benefit is the alternating eight-inch color sections. These high-contrast breaks act as a visual sighter, making it much easier to detect subtle strikes that you might miss with a standard, single-color tippet.

While it is specifically engineered for tight-line and European-style nymphing techniques, you can use it for any setup where you need to track your leader visually. However, its primary design intent is to serve as a sighter.

The 30-yard spool is ideal for anglers who want to keep a compact setup in their vest, while the 100-yard bulk spool is a better, more economical choice for those who build and replace their sighters frequently throughout the season.

This tippet is constructed from nylon. It provides the right balance of knot strength and flexibility needed for building effective indicator rigs.

Select your test strength based on the size of the fish you are targeting and the diameter of your leader system. The range goes from 1X (11 lbs) for larger fish to 6X (3 lbs) for more delicate presentations.
