Introducing the only tippet material any serious fly fisherman should consider using, with the best combination of wet-knot strength, suppleness, and abrasion-resistance of any fluorocarbon material made. Greater wet-knot strength means more fish—big fish—get landed. Plus, you fish more and re-tie tippet less. You can't fish without tying knots, and all tippet material weakens when knotted. That's physics. But, our new MaxKnot ties and holds stronger knots than any other fluorocarbon tippet; it's up to 49% stronger than regular Mirage. It's superior because it's created through a special double-extrusion method that gives the outer surface more suppleness. That means the knots tie, seat, and hold better so the tippet retains more of its original strength. The interior of MaxKnot has superior tensile strength too. The result is your connection to big fish is stronger than ever. And a stronger connection means more fish to hand.

Excellent product,

"Last spring I purchased a spool of 0X for saltwater fly rod use. Today I put it to the ultimate test in targeting lil tunny the sharpest eyed species we have on Cape Cod. Not only did I have multiple hits on the fly I was casting, proving how invisible the material is in the water, I actually landed the tunny I hooked with no breakoffs. For my father and brother who are spin fisherman, I used this material as a leader to the metal lures they were casting to the tunny, both had hits, and caught fish. The invisibility, and knot strength is incredible!"

"I'm a Great Lakes steelheader and I fish from September to May for steelies. Water and weather conditions change rapidly and so does your techniques, from dead drifting nymphs to swinging tube flies. I’ve tried all the major brands of fluorocarbon tippet material but was not really satisfied with just one type that I could depend on.
On my way home from the Buffalo airport, I stopped at a nearby fly shop and talked with the people there and they suggested that I try your new Mirage MaxKnot leader material and I did. After a few trips, I was impressed how your new leader material was easy to use and how it preformed. Now I have one less thing to worry about when catching and releasing those fine fish."

"As a guide for picky moutain trout...There is nothing better. Im a big 7x and 6x kind of guy, when 20+ inch bows are dragging my line across rocks MaxKnot gives me the extra edge to turn them around...You also get twice as much line on a spool than you do when using the other brands. Put to the test MaxKnot has been tougher, stronger, thinner and a better value than any other tippet I've tried... This big bow was caught in the Roanoke River with 6x MaxKnot...."

Brown on ZG Helios 906-4 with 3X MaxKnot
"I was in an ORVIS shop near Buffalo picking up some insect shield clothing and a few tidbits. The guy working the fishing area suggested I try this new tippet material. I am happy I did! I had always found fluourocarbon to be brittle, especially when tying a knot. MaxKnot has proven different. It holds well and has helped me land trout I previously may have broken off. It has also saved me endless frustration by reducing broken knots when I tie 6X or 7X tippet on to my leader."

6x MaxKnot
"I've been a 6x mirage user for a couple years using it with tiny 22 and 24 midge larvaes on some pretty picky trout. The weakest point I've found was my double surgeon's non-slip loop at the fly connection. This year I've been using the new MaxKnot tippet and can honestly say it is an improvement in both the knot strength and limpness which I feel is critical to this style of fishing. Orvis's tungsten sink putty also seems to hold better on it. This tippet has held up on some really nice weighing seveal pounds. As all with other other leader material, it's not fool-proof, but I highly recomend it to any small fly anglers. You won't be disappointed with it and it is well worth the extra $5.."

OK I'm impressed,
June 26, 2008

"Fly fishing for brookies on a boulder strewn maine river just a roll cast wide. Hooked into a smallmouth bass, about a three pounder! Not really a big deal until you consider I was using 6X tippet! That red eyed greenback ran me up and down the river and around every boulder he could find. After releasing the fish I checked my tippet. it was about as fuzzy as the dubbing on a hare's ear nymph from rubbing on the boulders but it held. I am impressed."
