The Airflo Custom T-Tips with Looped Ends are specialized sinking or intermediate polyleaders designed for fly fishing, particularly for trout and other freshwater species. These T-Tips are pre-made leaders with a loop at both ends, allowing for easy attachment to a fly line (via a loop-to-loop connection) and a tippet or fly.
Key Features:
✔ Material: Made from Airflo’s high-quality polyurethane, ensuring durability and consistent sink rates.
✔ Sink Rate: Available in intermediate (slow sink) and fast-sink options.
✔ Looped Ends: Loops at both ends for quick, hassle-free connections.
✔ Length Options:
– 10ft (ideal for shorter casts or when fishing in tighter spaces)
– 18ft (better for stealth and delicate presentations at longer distances)
✔ Compatibility: Works with Airflo fly lines and other brands with looped connections.
Best Uses:
– Nymphing & Wet Fly Fishing (especially with Euro-style or indicator rigs)
– Streamer Fishing (helps get flies down quickly in moving water)
– Stillwater Fishing (useful for lake trout or when fishing deep structures)
Pros & Cons:
✅ Pros:
– No need for additional loops or knots (saves time)
– Smooth turnover for better fly presentation
– Available in different sink rates
❌ Cons:
– Not as customizable as building your own leader
– May require a tippet ring if fishing very light tippets
