Specification

RIO Powerflex is a premium copolymer nylon tippet, celebrated for its exceptional knot strength, flexibility, and suppleness.

Its lower density compared to fluorocarbon means it sinks more slowly, making it ideal for fishing higher in the water column. The remarkable suppleness of Powerflex ensures your fly drifts naturally, making it a top choice for dry fly fishing and delicate presentations on UK rivers and reservoirs.

Why Choose RIO Powerflex Tippet for Fly Fishing?

  • High Knot Strength – Reliable and durable for confident fishing.
  • Excellent Suppleness – Ensures your fly drifts naturally for lifelike presentation.
  • Ideal for Surface Feeding Fish – Slower sinking copolymer keeps flies higher in the water column.
  • Perfect for Dry Fly Fishing – Delicate yet strong, making it ideal for precise presentations.

Sizes Available: 30yd and 100yd 

  • RIO Powerflex Tippet Spools are constructed of a high-tenacity copolymer with excellent knot strength, abrasion resistance, stretch and suppleness.
  • The light gray colour provides superb camouflage in any aquatic environment.
  • Great interlocking spools and a patented spool band to reduce tangling. Each band coded with diameter and breaking strain for fast changing.
  • Available in 30yd and 100yd spools.

TROUT FISHERMAN SAYS : An excellent low diameter for its tested breaking strain (it exceeded its stated rating). It also is one of the least stretchy copolymers which for some will be an added bonus as bite indication and sensitivity is greatly enhanced. Feels quite soft and supple and presents dries beautifully. It is clear, with a slightly shiny surface and is held in place with an elasticated dispensing tippet band.
