Biotip is a monofilament tippet which is 100% biodegradable low-visibility fishing line designed to deliver an excellent fly-fishing experience and be good for the environment.
Biotip tippet is as strong as regular tippet. For example, Bioptip 5XB is equal in tensile strength to a regular 5X. It doesn't start to biodegrade while it is still in the package. On your reel, Biotip holds up great for 18-24 months. With our commitment to environmental sustainability, we have even made the packaging 100% biodegradable. This even includes the spool!
Biotip is made from a proprietary polymer designed to biodegrade and/or compost safely in the environment. In other words, our "secret recipe" for fishing line is made of good stuff! Fly fish with Biotip and you won't know the difference - but the planet will!
Sizing Guide: The "b" stands for "biodegradable". We use our special size system so you can be assured of strength. Biotip tippet is slightly bigger than regular tippet, so if you compare a 5X tippet to our 5XB tippet, it will be a little bigger. However, the strength will be identical. To make it easy for you to find the strength you need, we kept the numbers the same.
