Fulling Mill MasterClass Copolymer review
Fulling Mill MasterClass Copolymer is the top of the range nylon copolymer tippet and leader material and comes in a range of sizes. Sitting alongside the much more expensive Masterclass Fluorocarbon, this stuff is of similar quality for a copolymer but quite reasonably priced.
