As scientists, we at Ascent Fly Fishing think that we have brought a unique product to the water with our PHANTOM fluorocarbon tippet. Our passion for making the science of the fly more practical and accessible by giving our clients a better product at a better price helped bring PHANTOM to life after years of research and work.
What makes our fluorocarbon stand out from the pack?
- Superb knot strength and abrasion resistance
- Nearly invisible on the water due to how light refracts from its surface
- Ultra sensitive to strikes
- Minimal stretch
- Natural tendency to sink, making it ideal for wet fly, streamer, and nymphing rigs
- SPOOLED WITH 67% MORE MATERIAL THAN OTHER BRANDS (50 METERS OR 54.7 YARDS PER SPOOL)
Serious anglers need serious tools, not overpriced ones.
Our tippet and leaders are made in Japan.

So far, so good
I bought the tippet and had it shipped during a very busy week and it made it in plenty of time for my trip. Caught about 30 fish one day and used the same tippet for all 30. Nothing earth shattering re: size, but it held up very well.

Terrific tippet
I have been purchasing my fishing products from Ascent for several years now and could not be more pleased with the quality and service. Their tippet is the best deal around. I have purchased other products and flies as well and will continue. Peter is great to work with when it is time for one of my trips. He always sets me up for success. Cheers

My go-to tippet
This is my absolute favorite tippet for the money. Strong and durable, and productive. I have nothing else on my tippet spools these days. Love it!

Just learned the how and when of Flourocarbon. It makes a huge difference.

Durable
Great product. Strong, durable and won't break the bank. You get more value from Ascent products. These lines are invisible under water and have great strength. Will be purchasing more.

Great strength
I have put about 8 miles across 2 float trips on the phantom tippet (4X and 5X). I'm sold that this will be my fluro tippet of chose going forward. I had 0 strength issues and felt I put the tippet to the test by pulling a fish through part of little gore cayon, fishing around rock structure and having a couple of buddies land some large fish. It's a no brainer with the above and the price.

Great value, fingers crossed for 100m spool
Only have 5 days on this tippet but it has held up great. Only failures were on my crappy knots. Was able to pull a fair sized rainbow out of a rock she logged herself in on 5x - quite impressive that it resisted both pull and abrasion. I'm sold on it, now I'm just waiting for the 100m guide spool.
