I am a beginner too- you don't need tippet when you first set-up. But if you break the leader by accident, your fly will be too close to the fly line. If this happens, you need to extend the leader by tying on another bit onto the end- hence this video. Having said that, my leader has reduce from 9ft-5ft but its still ok to fish with...
When you fly fish is the line that you tie the hook onto metal or basic line because trout have teeth obviously??

Do you need a tipit? I have a beginners kit, but I don't see any tipit material. My kit's directions say to attach the leader to the fly.
Great videos, I could have not set up my fly rod without them.
I'm confused about the tipit material and am wondering why my kit didn't come with it .
