Question what are the best flies/lures for fishing on a sinking line???

Hi all,
i was fishing at the weekend and it was sunny and the fish(rainbows) werent looking at anything so i tried my di7 or fast sinking line and lost one and broke with one with this method on a damsel. this is not my favorite method of fishing by a long way but my question is what in your experiance is the best lure to fish on a sinking line. mine would have to be damsels,blobs and if im really desperate a boobie
Regards,
Tom

Tom,

Not a big fan of this method either but have been successful in competitions with it.

I use a mini cats whisker, weighted cats whisker and have caught on cats whisker boobies and orange blobs.

The lure man's panacea is a Cat's Whisker. If your water is regularly stocked you'll need little else.
