The folks at Mad River are the best in the business. I didn't know anything about fly fishing. They took their time and thoroughly answered all questions, and gave me guidance you would expect from an expert.
Please send your questions over to the shop directly and/or give them a call and they will be happy to help.
I went through that until I learned to use tippet rings. Makes it a whole lot easier. But that's just my opinion and what works for me.
Not necessarily. You can and should add new tippet by tying on additional tippet. You can do this by adding line (tippet) using a surgeons knot. Note the tippet should be equal or smaller in diameter to the end of the leader you are tying it to.
