This tippet has held knots really well for me and straightens out perfectly. I use it for every inshore situation where you want your tippet to sink from tailing redfish and laid up gator trout to rolling tarpon in basins
I have been using Cortland fluorocarbon and been totally amazed at how strong it is. I know that you always set the hook down stream, unless it's a really big fish and you get excited and you lift it straight up and get tangled in a tree. I did that and thought my only answer was to break break the tippet and leave my fly in the tree. But the tippit was 5X Cortland fluorocarbon and it did not break. Instead. it was the main part of the leader, the 5X did NOT break! So now some days I get lazy and rather than change the 5X if I am going to fish a small streamer, I leave it on and catch big fish anyway. It is so worth the price! I have totally switched to Cortland FluoroCarbon. I also use the Cortland fluorocarbon when I jungle fish (40 lb test) and it's wonderful..
Just returned from Christmas Island --after 2 weeks --worked great on the bonefish flats which are full of Coral !!!
I have been impressed with the performance of the fluorocarbon tippet material and leaders. I recently switched to using this brand and will definitely continue to use it in the future. Great stuff!
Great knot strength. Especially when tapering down.
Excellent abrasion resistance especially when angling those bruiser Florida snook. A bit of peace of mind…
I use the XTR to build all my saltwater leaders and it’s Great!!
Abrasion resistant, perfect!!
Have used another brand for years and recently made the switch to XTR.14-20 # for lake Erie walleye and 25-50 for lake Ontario trout and Salmon. All have proved to be of excellent quality!

This leader material works great for dragging football head jigs over zebra muscles beds in Lake Ontario when targeting late season smallmouth stagging on their winter holding areas in 26- to 40-foot. It allows me to drag the jig through rocks & muscles without worrying about losing the jig. If you're looking for a though abrasion resistant leader this is the one.
Hands down the best fluorocarbon leader material I have used to date. Knots seat like mono, and the durability is outstanding. From fishing articulated streamers out of a boat to dredging crab patterns thru sand for Striped Bass, haven’t had a better leader material. Cortland hit a homerun, thank you
Luved it...great knot function fg...abrasion good too..couple with Masterbraid and wreck em..best line and leader out there ..tried em all and made in USA..

I have not used any if the current stock that I just received. But I have used it before and gind ittfto be very good. I use Cortland leader materisl to build all of my saltwater leaders and finish them off with 2' +/- FC class tippet in 12, 16, 20 #. Never lets me down. Edd
this is amazing product, can fool the most finicky fish
The only leader I use! Super strong 💪
Great stuff, we like fishing with it, and the FISH like it to
Tarpon approved
I've been using Fluorocarbon XTR for 6 years in both saltwater and fresh water. I've everything from crappies to halibut and have not had any issues.
Very strong
Great floro for any fishing environment.
By far the best leader material, has better abrasion resistant than other brand name fluorocarbon’s meaning landing of more fish. Highly recommend!
On of the best fluorocarbon leader on the market today
Going back to making my own saltwater leaders for striped ass, Albies and blues. This will be trial and error. I’ll let you know how I make out. I pick this material because this Cortland. Carbon is fantastic.
Using this leader material in conjunction with my new Cortland braided line. Can’t wait for opening day of trout in PA!
The XTR leader material is the best flouro for leaders I’ve ever used. Superior knot strength, abrasion resistant and paired with the Top Secret tippet you have a bulletproof system
Its all I use for great lakes smallmouth..likes the fg knot...supple..and abrasion resistant. MADE IN USA!!! Great Company
