Will it make a difference, rather than the normal coloured sinkers?

you might struggle on that. And to be honest if they did make them the line would be a nightmare. Clear lines and fast sinkers are bad enough for tangles at the best of times. Imagine a di7 with all that memory? Thanks blobby i'm gonna have nightmares now.

Odd , despite the advertising , I never yet met a clear intermediate that wasn't a Wet Cel 1 equivalent slow/med sinker ! Drop one in a tank and time it and you may be (un)pleasantly surprised .

Yeah, I have a Loop Distance clear "intermediate" and slow/med sinker would be a more accurate description of it.

I would imagine it would be difficult to produce a clear fast sinker, as fast sinkers are impregnated with tungsten, the more the tungsten the faster the sink rate. If they develop 'clear' tungsten you may be on a winner, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm with Stuart on this....it would be impossible to produce a medium or fast sinking "clear line" basically because these lines are impregnated with either tungstone or lead, neither of which can be made clear.

I hate clear lines, they make me nauseus.

Why do you want a clear sinker?
