Bmarsh,
Just curious what type of flies you're fishing when you notice smaller flourocarbon tippet outperforms larger fc tippet. I think it matters some with dries. With nymphs I don't notice any difference at all. I can use 3,4,5 or 6x without noticing any difference except more bigger fish breaking off in fast water with the lighter stuff. I only use Mirage so don't know if brands make a difference. Maybe part of the difference could be specific to different waters as well.
