Hi Craig, you could put a bit of fairy liquid on a rag and pull the line through it, might help.
Are you sure it is a sinker and not a mislabled floater.
I have had Norris's lines in the past and most have been OK.
Cheers S.

What colour is it? if it still won't sink, ring them and ask to speak to Julian Shaw, and explain your problem, they are quite good and will help you out I am sure. But ask nicely.

That seems OK, has it got a lot of memory, ie coils up a lot, and have you fished with it properly yet, stretched it out a bit etc.
If all fails ring them, it's only a phone call.
