Default Stupid question?

Do intermediate lines all sink at the same rate?

When I bought my first line I didnt look for a sink rate, but have just replaced my line and I cant find anywhere on the box that shows the sink rate?

Any abuse / help welcome

Cheers

Nope they all come in different sink rates and vary from one manufacture to the other.Take Airflo's sixth sense range for example ( the best IMHO ) they come in slow med and fast sink rates

I carry five different intermediate lines

They range from hardly sinking at all (PP's Neutral Density) to the Airflo Fast Glass (2 ips). All have their uses and I would not want to be without any of them, really.
