The question is - what is the difference between 2lb test line & #7 tippet material (which is usually 2lb test)? I thought they were the same animal just packaged differently. [/quote]
Tippet material varies allot depending on manufacturer. Generally it is a THINNER diameter then say, Vanish, P-Line etc.
Sorry I am referring to Fluoro, cause that is what I use.
Example: Vanish: 2 lb. .9 kg .006" avg. dia. 15mm
RIO 7X 2.5 lb 1.2kg .004" 0.102 mm
Orvis Mirage 6X 3.6 lb 1.6 kg .005" .127 mm
The great thing is 2 lb. will cover 7X and 6X[]
