Summary

Interview segment begins at 43:02

I get regular and frequent questions on the differences between nylon and fluorocarbon tippet—when and where to use them, appropriate knots, special properties, and shelf life. I used to be involved in the development process of tippet and have visit many places where tippet is made. But that was years ago and a lot of progress has been made since my time in product development. So I invited Josh Jenkins, R&D manager at Scientific Anglers, to talk about recent innovations in tippet material. Josh is intimately involved in the development and testing of tippet for both Orvis and Scientific Anglers, and his knowledge is far greater that mine. I think you’ll learn some surprising tips on both tippet material construction and knots because I learned a lot in speaking with Josh.

The Fly Box this week is a little different. This one was recorded live at The Fly Fishing Show in Edison New Jersey. Rather than telling you what kinds of questions were asked (none of which were prompted or ones I had heard beforehand) I’ll let you discover these on your own. You never know what might happen in New Jersey…

0:00.0	And the Hi and we have a couple of
0:15.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis fly fishing podcast.
0:18.0	This is your host Tom Rosenbower and we have a couple of sort of special pieces of the podcast this week.
0:30.0	First and foremost, but second on the agenda is we're going to talk to Josh Jenkins,
0:36.8	who is the research and development head
0:42.2	at Scientific Anglers. and
0:45.0	Josh is going to talk all about the two types of leader and
0:48.0	the two types of leader and tipet material, nylon and fluorocarbon. We're going to hear from a guy who has the real inside
0:56.5	scoop and it was seen this stuff made and has evaluated many, many, many different formulas.
1:04.1	And so we're going to get some good guidance
1:06.0	on the use of both nylon and fluorocarbon tipet
1:11.8	materials.
1:12.4	So I think you'll enjoy that when we get a lot of questions
1:15.0	about those materials and hopefully Josh
1:17.4	will be able to answer a lot of them.
1:19.8	First in the lineup is a kind of an experimental flybox that we did a couple weeks ago at the
1:30.7	fly fishing show in Somerset, New Jersey. We recorded a live flybox
1:36.9	had people come into the Orvis booth at the show and ask questions. And there's a little bit of background noise but it came out okay I was I was a little bit
1:47.8	disappointed that I didn't get any really really bizarre or unusual questions.
1:54.1	I was, you never know when you do these things live.
1:56.6	I was hoping that we'd, we'd have something that maybe
2:02.0	was a little shocking or surprising.
