Umpqua Phantom X Tippet – Key Features
With very little stretch due to its unique core, Umpqua's Phantom X allows you to detect the most subtle takes. A unique chemical process of combining fluorocarbon monomers into polymer chains creates harmony with Umpqua's proprietary coating — resulting in abrasion resistance, sensitivity, density, invisibility, and strength never seen before in fluorocarbon fly fishing tippet.
All spools of Phantom X also come with a custom ProBand to keep tippet neatly wrapped on the spool, yet at the ready when you are on the water. Only available in 30 yard spools.
