Fishing for sewin is like C.P.Snow's first law of meetings "Be There".

I have to agree there is a certain logic in dieboerra's post. But... knightynose specifically asked about the Sewincaster range, which is only made in #8 rating, and regarded as big river lines, I'd assumed he was going to have a few casts on the Towy afterwards, in the wee hours after the regulars have gone home, and when the faster sinking tips come into their own.
The 24ft Ultra Fast Sink Type 6 tip is my other favourite, great on the Conway if there's a bit of pull to it; it is of course 'Type 6', not 5, unless you, Toby, still have a stash of specials and prototypes? As said: superb for bass/SWFF also.
