Floating lines with a 3'-5' intermediate tip.

Great lines for getting those flies just that tad bit deeper.

I used mine in Barnsdale (Rutland) last weekend...yeah they work, so do my buzzers!!

A tad expensive for the Rio but well worth the money. I also have a stealth tip which has a 12' tip.

If midge tip line is expensive, why not just put an intermediate polytip onto your floater?
