Versatile tippet for everyday trout fishing — strong enough for bigger fish, fine enough for smart ones.

Crystal River's 5X Copolymer Leader Wheel is the workhorse tippet size for most trout situations. The copolymer construction delivers excellent knot strength and tensile strength while staying supple for natural fly movement and smooth turnover on a wide range of patterns.

Why it works:

5X is the most versatile tippet size in trout fishing — fine enough to fool selective fish on dry flies and nymphs, strong enough to handle a solid brown trout or rainbow.
