[quote gonfishn]I was shopping for new tipett recently and got to wondering if anyone knows the difference between the
P-line flourocarbon and the rio flouroflex plus flourocarbon of the same diameter. If there is no real difference, you can sure get a lot more for your money buying the P-line than the tipetts packaged for flyfishers in the small spools. Specifically, I was looking to get some 1x flouroflex which runs approx $15 for 30 yds. Conversely, the 10 or 12 pound P-line is $21 for 250 yds. I use this tipett for streamers and for lake fishing so decided to take the risk and bought the P-line. But I am curious to hear if any of you know the difference or have considered the same question.[/quote]
First of all, I use PLine flouro, but that's strictly for stillwater fishing. Next, Rio Flouroflex Plus tippet and P Line diameters are different for the same poundage. The Rio, like most tippet sold to fly fishers is thinner than off the shelf bulk spools like P Line Berkley and other brands. There is a difference in diameters.
