I mentioned using 6x tippet on another thread re playing and landing big fish, and it turned into a major discussion on tippets and size. Ultimately like a lot of things in life, you should use what works for you and not worry about what anyone else thinks. Personally, I use a lot of 5x flouro, and tend to go 6x on the dropper so I won't lose two flies if fishing down. Also I like to fish small, light flies on the drop, and the lighter tippet allows for more movement. I'm going heavier on big or really muddy water, or if say I was just fishing streamers. If you can present the fly the way you want and the fish are responding don't sweat it.
