Streamer Sinking line

« on: August 19, 2009, 09:01:53 AM »

I will be the forst to admit my streamer tactics are not the greatest. I am looking to get a sink tip or sinking line for my 6wt Redington CPS any suggestions on line types to try?

I haven't dabbled with sinking tips much. I feel very confidant that I can handle nearly any situation with my SA Full Sink Types 1, 3, and 5.

I am thinking of going with a 3 to start out with It should work great on the clarion I am sick of using split shot.

Split shot also seems to be the bane of my existence. I am going to pick up to sinking tips before steelhead season I think. Any suggestions for an 8wt?

Go to the almighty tube fly if your swinging a fly. No split shot necessary.

If you fish the wrong fly long and hard enough, it will sooner or later become the right fly

Any suggestions on what company's sinking lines to look at? Are some better than others? I am mostly looking to use them from the bank lake fishing and casting big streamers on a couple of the big local rivers.
