Default Tippets: 'X' vs breaking strength

I read about and tried a 12 pound spin line last fall. I used an 8
foot section and tied a 4x fluoro tippet to it. It was recommended by
a famous nympher (forget his name - duh!) because the line sank faster
than fluoro or regular mono. I used it for a day and really didn't
see any advantage. And, no, it was not hard to cast.


Interesting... saved me a few bucks...thanks.
