[quote cpierce]What are some of your favorite tippet brands?
I think the last tippets I got are lemons. I have a 3lb and 5lb Rio that snaps when anything of size hits it or even if you snag a weed! I have used 2lb mono that is stronger. I am not sure if this is the usual with this brand or if it was sitting on the store shelf forever. Any ideas?[/quote]
If it's mono, it has a shelf life. Sunlight will kill tippet real easy. Fluoro will last forever. Return it to where you bought it from if you bought it recently.
