 Fly Fishing Info Center - Lefty Kreh on Fly Fishing Leaders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A bite tippet is used where fish have sharp teeth or may abrade through a tippet during the battle.
To prevent a cut-off or to keep the tippet from eroding, a heavier section of monofilament or wire (braided or single strand) is attached to the tippet and then connected to the fly.
Longer bite tippets are very difficult to turn over on the cast, and in clear water, the longer a wire leader, the more likely fish will see it and refuse the fly.

 Knots: Tying the Slim Beauty - MidCurrent
Once the figure eight knot is made in the shock tippet or butt section, the double line is passed through the knot in the direction that will allow it to pass straight through the flattened knot.
Then in one hand hold the standing part of the tippet and the actual tag end of the tippet — the double line that emerges from the top of the tightened figure-eight, not the section of double line that you inserted into the gap.
Trim the knot by removing all but 1/16'' of the remaining loop of doubled tippet, the tag end of the shock, and the short strand of doubled line that will not be used to attach your class tippet to the leader butt section.

 Basics of Fly Fishing - Step 3: Necessary Knots and Leaders
The importance of the leader is twofold; it serves to cast the fly in a tight loop because of the tapered design, and it keeps the fly away from the fly line, which under most circumstances will spook a fish.
The primary reason for this is that a lighter tippet will not turn the fly over properly, and if the tippet is too small in diameter, the fly will jerk around which will cause abrasive weakening in the knot.
The simplest technique is to tie another short tippet right on the bend of the hook with an improved clinch knot.
