Hi
Can anyone offer me advice please, I have a sage rpl 9'6" #6 rod and currently use Hardy mach intermediate line and a cortland floating line. I followed advice to purchase a sink tip Pitsford Pirate #6 sink tip but whether it's my casting style or the fly line but i find it harder to cast with. I find casting much easier and slicker with the Cortland and Hardy lines. I understand there is a price difference etc but i would rather purchase a quality line that helps and makes my life easier. Any advice on a line etc would be gratefully received
Many thanks
Gareth

Gareth,
An intermediate and floating line have a much more uniform weight distribution, whereas the sink tip is denser at the tip than the running line, so it will be a lot different to cast.
It's a case of practicing the sink tip casting. Stewart's lines are fine - stick with it and you'll get the hang of it

As chris says buddy its certainly not the quality of the line i have the same one, its the make up of it i have three sink tips and they all cast very similar so you will have to adjust accordingly.....

Thank you for the info makes sense I suppose plus I've have only used it a couple of times. I'll have to get out and get some practice in. Thank you as you have also saved me some cash too.
