In this episode of RIO's "How To" series, RIO brand manager Simon Gawesworth explains how to better understand the different types of leader and tippet materials that are on the market. Simon runs through a number of factors that influence what type of material to use, and explains how materials vary considerably in their construction, their tensile strength and their diameter to strength ratio - something few anglers even consider.
Take two tippet materials of exactly the same diameter - let's say 0.010", with one breaking at 15lb and the other at 8lb. Most anglers would choose the stronger one, but there are many other attributes to be aware of than just strength, and with certain rigs the right choice would actually be the weaker one of those two.

This guy is the best at explaining/showing stuff I've seen, something about his attitude and accent really help for me lol. Great videos!

[@andyyun1162]

I almost never comment on videos, but this made everything so easy to understand! Thank you so much.

This may be the best explanation I have seen. This is a confusing subject for the new guy! Showing every option is too much. This was right balance !! Thanks

great video, that helps clear things up. What would the disadvantage be to using a thicker tippet with a higher tensile strength?

I have a question. If you have a substitute leader. How long tipper in nylone or fluor-carbon should I use? Still the same as the rod?
