Stroft ABR Tippet Review

/

The past couple of seasons Ive been using Stroft ABR which is produced in Germany as my go to day to day tippet whilst guiding. I find it works great for nymphing, dry fly and streamer fishing as its more abrasion resistance and slightly stiffer than other brands Ive tried.. The abbreviation "ABR" stands for Abrasion Resistance, which is gained through a variety of heat & pressure treatments. Stroft ABR has the same strength characteristics as Stroft  GTM but is made from a more abrasion resistant material - It is slightly stiffer and harder than Stroft GTM (soft and more supple) making it an excellent choice for turning over bigger nymphs and dries. A couple of times over the past season clients have had small wind knots in their Stroft tippet and have landed several fish before refreshing it, which just goes to show it's quality and strength ! Stroft ABR and GTM are absolutely unrivaled for strength vs diameter and are perfect for our back country rivers and streams here in NZ.
