Why don't you try one of these

Just attach (loop to loop) to your floating line.

Mijo:
You do not mention what length you require as they come in various sizes

3'-5'-9'-12'-15'.I even have a 24' one.

Yes sorry Mijo but I won't have manufacture and supply lines that are not full braided core.

Why does it need to be clear out of interest and what lenghth are you after as Jim has enquired?

No, but if you want a clear tip, you're going to have to go to bigger money. I'm not sure it makes a big difference. Just presenting another option.

Might also be worth having a look at tackle bargains selection.

Tacklebargains.co.uk Sink Tips / Ghost Tips / and Multi Tip Fly Lines

There are some scierra aqua tip sink tips on there, with clear tips.
