Mike: Geez.. what would 10X be?? about 1/4 pound test??? I think I would lose more fish than I would catch, cause I loose them at times on 5X,(which, the brand I am using that 5X is only 3 1/2 pound test) but on the size 16-18-20 hooks I can't hardly use anything bigger... Chuck

Subject: [VFB] 10X tippet

I saw some 10X tippet for sale.  I was amazed because when I have fished 8X I felt I barely had a whisper of a line and had to be so careful in setting the hook and playing the fish. So much so that I try not to use anythng under 6X except for adult midges when I will use 7X.  Have any of you used 9X or 10X.  Give me some help here on what rod you use and how you fish such tiny tippets.
 
Mike
