just a quick one guys am thinking of buying a sink tip line of fleabay is it only suitable for buzzers/nymphs/lures.
no good for dry fly probs a stupid question so dont shoot me down.lol

terry

I certainly wouldn't use a sink tip with dries Terry, defeats the purpose really

thought so just wanted to check before buying.

terry

Terry, you have answered your own question You can try it, but don't hold out much hope on the fly staying on the surface.

Not unless you want to fish a sunken dry Terry, not stupid, it works.

I tend to use mine for deep buzzers and nymphs, or the washing line with a four flee rig, Cruncher on top, then a Diawl Bach, then a Buzzer, then a Cormorant Booby on the point.

I believe the sinking tip line was created for the rivers to get the fly down deep and give the caster better control of the line. You wouldn't use this line with drys.

I have a couple sinking tip lines that I use in my local lakes around the weed beds. It's a great line to own.

thanks guys
that must of sounded like a daft question now i think about it.
doh

Hear, hear. Definitely works, but to buy a sink tip just for that...nothing easier than drowning a dry fly, unless it's a bung

Regards,
Johan
