Around 1-2" per second. It would all depend on how much money you want to spend on a line. Courtland are good lines.

Airflo's sixth sense int lines are hard to beat ( comes in a range of sink rates ),cortlands 444 ice blue is another decent line

Hello,

I've just started using using a Greys Platinum clear int line and I think it's good. Had no problems with it at all. Sinks at 1.5 inches per sec I think.

cheers,

Nick.

Cortland Blue is brilliant and the Snowbee ND which is a vvvvery slow inter.

The Pirates inters are a very good bet all round and 1/3 the price of the other named brands.

Personally, I wouldnt touch a clear inter again as they generally have a mono-core and hence prone to coiling.

Another vote for the sixth sense lines, Fast and slow glass, hard to beat them.

I bought a cortland 444 blue inter from the game fair a couple of years ago from a company who were discounting it - I was asking "which Inter?" they said that if they were to use just one this would be it - It casts very well even into a strong headwind, sinks reasonably slowly and has caught loads of fish!
