Reuven, Glen, Tony.. Thanks for the tips.. I didn't have any break offs as I
have NOT used that tippet material.. I was afraid to use it because it was
soooo easy to break by hand, I was afraid that even a nice bluegill would
break it... I guess I'll just stick to the 4 pound mono I have to use as
tippet material, and then maybe order some more of the 6X Orvis (so the test
I do will be the same) and test the new spool against the old spool and see
if that is just how easy it breaks... Glen, On my leader, it is brand
new..I made it myself..It is furled from 6/0 clear tying thread and is VERY
strong.. Just that tippet material felt too weak to me, and I was afraid to
try it, Chuck

Chuck,
Sounds like you have some bad tippet material.
I use 6X most of the time seldom have a break off.

Folks: We have been talking about tippet material,
and I have a question... I have a roll of Orvis 6X
3.5 pound test .005 diameter tippet.. It "rolls
over" well for me, but when I take a piece and pull,
it just is soo small, it snaps with very little
power to break it. I know that fish "weigh" a lot
less in water, than if you were pulling them in on
land. But, does anybody lose a lot of fish with this
small (6X) tippet??? or Not?? I have just started
using a 4 pound "mono" line, that is much harder to
break, but does NOT "turn over" as easy, at least
not for me it don't.. Thanks in advance, Chuck
