Sink Tip Line Question
"Tom Nakashima" wrote in message ... Anyone know if sink-tip lines are rated heavier? Currently I have a 7wt WF Floating Line. I just purchased an extra spool for my reel for a sink-tip-line. Would a 7wt sink-tip line cast heavier than the 7wt WF floating line? -tom It will cast differently - mainly because of the added pull of lifting it out of the water rather than off the surface. However, for the same line weight designation, the first 30' will have the exact same total weight, whether sinking line, sink tip, or floater. In some brands, the distribution of the weight in the first 30' may be different between a sink tip and a floater, while a full sinking line and a floater will have common distributions.
