i have a floating line reeled up but am looking for a spare spool but not sure what would be the best line to put on it sinking or intermediate ? what would people suggest ?

Sink tip.

what the advantage of that jim ?
peebs

What kind of water do you fish, peebster?

If it's smaller stillwaters, I'd say you'd use an intermediate (1 or so inches p/sec) much more than a sinker.

If it's boat fishing in a reservoir & I was limited to 2 lines, I'd have a floater & reasonably quick sinker.

Better line control.

its bank and float tubing (mainly bank ) never on a boat at a reservoir , its a fair size 100 acres ,

Floater, intermediate & use the second hand on your watch.

intermediate , for most types of lough fishing this time of year it would be ideal,

whats the difference between inter and sink tip ?

Hi.
with an intermediate line the whole line sinks. With a sink tip the first 5-15ft sinks whilst the rest of the line floats.
hope this helps.
John.

P.S. I would choose an intermediate.
