I get regular and frequent questions on the differences between nylon and fluorocarbon tippet\\u2014when and where to use them, appropriate knots, special properties, and shelf life.\\xa0 I used to be involved in the development process of tippet and have visit many places where tippet is made.\\xa0 But that was years ago and a lot of progress has been made since my time in product development.\\xa0 So I invited Josh Jenkins, R&D manager at Scientific Anglers, to talk about recent innovations in tippet material.\\xa0 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. \\xa0I think you\\u2019ll 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.\\xa0 This one was recorded live at The Fly Fishing Show in Edison New Jersey.\\xa0 Rather than telling you what kinds of questions were asked (none of which were prompted or ones I had heard beforehand) I\\u2019ll let you discover these on your own.\\xa0 You never know what might happen in New Jersey\\u2026
