Confidence matters, and Umpqua’s Perform X HD will be there for you when throwing big bugs and big and small tube flies

Umpqua has a tippet material for every application … we tried them all and found the Perform X HD Umpqua tippet to be the best form of tippet material for salmon and trout fishing. Clear nylon. Super strong but still soft enough for our preference… less stretchable than the Maxima nylon we sell.
