Default Fly-Rite Magic Sink

Morning all

Was browsing Lakeland's site when I came across this stuff.

Last season I found that sinking the tippet was a bit hit and miss at times with Fullers earth mix, and alwats have far greater success with dries when i can sink the tippet quickly, so might be interested in this stuff.

Anyone used it?

This must be the only one I haven't tried, but none of the others work dependably on light tippets -- even fluorocarbon. The only way I have found is to mount a small buzzer pattern a foot or so above the dry. Simply thread it on to the leader before adding the final length of tippet, and the knot will stop it sliding down to the dry. This method will also give you the occasional bonus fish.
(There's always split shot, of course, but that is banned in many competitions.)
