Default Rio Extreme Tippet

Anyone tried this stuff? Info at: -
http://www.rioproducts.com/product.php?fmCategory=5

Wondered if it was any good and if it may have application for targeting big pike?

I can't seem to find a UK based supplier at the mo, if anyone knows otherwise I'd be grateful to here.

P.S. I don't want to start up the wire/ no wire debate AGAIN! If it's as hard to cut as is suggested it may have application that is worth looking at.

I was just looking at there website where it says "5X: With no stretch and superior strength the 5X is an awesome nymphing material. It is especially great for Czech nymphing with its super sensitive bite detection".

I recently read this article http://www.czechnymphs.com/tactics/t..._2003_009.html about using braid for czech nymphing and am wondering if the Rio Extreme Tippet would be suitable.

Any thoughts appreciated.
