Has anyone got any ideas on good brands of sinking lines to use on the loughs/lochs for early season brown trout fishing? I'm looking for a slow to medium sinker for a 6# rod, to get down a bit but not too fast (not the superfast HI D's).

I will be fishing Corrib in the early season and have Intermediate and floating lines so just looking for something to get down a bit deeper especially for those early season browns.

Regards
Bert

the airflow sixthsense di 3 should do the trick for you if the fish are deep , it casts well and doesnt suffer from memory problems . several anglers from wales use these lines when the wind picks up

Thanks RobRoy. I saw them, the only thing I'm worried about is the sizes in these lines. I've seen that they're in 6/7 and 7/8 weights. The rod I use is a 6#, would the 6/7 be too powerful for this and maybe more suitable for 7# rods.

Why can't they make them for each individual weight?

Has anyone used the 6/7 on 6# rods and if so any problems?

Bert

yea all sixth sense lines are good. i think the 6 - 7 would be ok do they have a 5 - 6 ?

I use 6/7 weight Airflo lines on my #6 weight Enigma EMG or 6/7Greyflex M2, they handle perfectly on those rods,no problems.
I would consider using either the Airflo sweep lines or SA wet-cel 2,wet-cel 3 for mid depth brownies.
These lines have more of a curve in the retrieve track which brownies are supposed to prefer given the choice.

Well Bert i fish corrib on the opening day every season and a wet cel 2 is my line of choice,the fish tend to close in on the rocks and islands feeding on shrimp and louse,so it not all that important to go deep for them.

Hi Bert,
I normally use a Wetcel 4 if the fish are really down with a weighted fly on the point usually a wee double ,but most of my early season fishing is done with a fastglass intermediate .

Hope this helps Colin.

The 6/7 should be fine bert try not to aerialise too much line though , they are also very good at converting takes into fish because of the low stretch properties tight lines

One thing you should remember bert is that if your drifting in a boat you havnt got the same amount of time for your line to get down! but the airflo di3 is a good line
