Froghair for Fishing with Heidi Black

Your tippet is one of the most important parts of your fishing experience while out on the river. Froghair was born from an unexpected result of an experimental process. Today that result has turned into one of the strongest most respected brands of tippet out there. Today we talk with Heidi Black, who together with her husband Dale, own Froghair that manufactures tippet, monofilament, and leader line for the fishing industry. Heidi shares the story and the scientific process of how tippet is made. Before you head out on your next fishing trip, be sure to pick up some Frog Hair Tippet.
