Do you know the sink rate on this fly line? I can't find any info on the net and it would be great for an application I use if it sinks fast enough. Thanks Kyle
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyle. Your right that this info is not posted anywhere. Keep in mind sink rates are so subjective anyway and they rarely hold up to any scientific data. You need more tungsten to sink faster which in turns makes a thicker line which slows sink down. It's mostly an oxymoron equation. What I can tell you from sources using this line is that they are impressed with it's ability to sink and claim it to be fastest they've ever seen. It was built to the request of high water brown trout anglers fishing from boat on systems like the White in Arkansas. I have no experience with it so cannot give you a personal report on it. Best, Greg
