Varivas Tippet
VARIVAS is a Line, Leader and Tippet specialist so they invest their resources to improve the quality of their materials. Their unique manufacturing process increases the relative line density making softer and more abrasion resistant
materials that offer higher breaking strength per line diameter. VARIVAS Super Tippet materials are high performance, extremely strong and very flexible due to the VA-G “Non-Stress Coating.” They are abrasion-resistant, water-resistant and have a low memory. VARIVAS makes a perfect line match between Leaders and Tippet; this has been achieved through the co-development of materials and offers the fly-fisher an ideal solution to most fishing situations:
