I wanted to see what you guys thought on the topic of fluorocarbon tippet. I'm going for steelhead next week and need to get myself a few different sizes so I'm ready but it's hard to stomach paying 10-15 a spool for the stuff. If I get 3 different sizes I'm lookin at 30-50 bucks right off the bat.
I was told by an employee at a reputable fly shop that you can go buy any standard fluoro bass line and it's the exact same stuff you pay $$ for at your local fly shop. Anyone know the validity in this and if so, do they put the diameter size on the box of these lines so I know about what size I'll be using.
I'm interested to see if the thrifty fly shoppers here will be able to clue me in on this stuff.
Have a great Thanksgiving all!
