So, I need to restock my flouro tippet. Been using a mix of stuff inc drennan, trilene etc but as I’m getting ready for my campaign I’ll need some fresh spools!

What yall using? The Rio stuff looks good but a bit heavy on the £££. Also I have their tapered leaders and found them a bit stiff
 
I use maxima tippet for trout, have been for yonks and never had a problem. Daiwa Sensor for sea fishing.
 
I use mono..I reckon the fly turns over better.
If I am dry fly fishing I always use mono, but sub surface the flouro almost disappears so I can live with the stiffness of it and it not turning over as well. On the surface it is all about presentation so mono wins.
 
I always use maxima mono as a tippet and have done for over 30yrs never had a problem.
 
Yeah, they don't use proper 7oz breakout flies ............
I expect you use anchors as a weight and meat hooks with a 20lb lump of meat for bait :ROFLMAO: bit of an overkill for mackerels though.
