I use sink tip lines a lot, but only when stripping streamers. I have tried
fishing nymphs with one, but can't remember any success. I suspect the
thickness of the line, mass of the sinking portion, and effect of underwater
currents makes it virtually impossible to detect a strike on a slack line.
Because of their mass, I should think it virtually impossible to maintain a
taut line when fishing most nymphs on adead drift. Now fished quartering
downstream you could maintain a taut line, but I'm not sure that you'd fool
many fish like that.

Has anyone tried Cabelas Prestige plus (WF-F/S) 10 ft. Sink Tip lines?
I plan to fish the Esopus this coming season and wondered, Is this type
of line a much greater advantage over split shot and indicator nymphing
with WF-F line and would any such advantage justify the cost of the new
line and perhaps an extra spool?
