Rio ESP Tippet

Extremely sensitive, lowest-stretch tippet for turning even the subtlest trout strikes into instant paydirt.  

• Made from RIO’s distinct ESP material for definitive strike detection
• Maximum low-stretch performance
• Available from 7X to 2X
• Ideal for indicator nymphing/Euro nymphing/stillwater presentations

Imperceptible bites on nymphs count for nothing. And RIO's new ESP Tippet makes it easier than ever to answer the question, “Was that an eat?” Neither nylon nor fluorocarbon, ESP is a one-of-a-kind material. Its distinct chemistry gives rise to distinct properties; namely, low-stretch and extreme sensitivity. ESP tippet stretches one-third as much as fluorocarbon at low tension, making it ideal for targeting light-biting fish with subsurface presentations. When Euro nymphing, ESP transmits even the gentlest pickups directly to the sighter. When indicator nymphing, ESP makes the indicator twitch sooner, resulting in quicker hooksets and more hookups. And in stillwater scenarios, use it for fishing long, fine leaders with hand-twist retrieves that result in rock-solid connections.
