Gorge Fly Shop's family of sink tips just grew bigger with the addition of Scientific Angler's Skagit Sink Tips. If I were to tell you that we sell more sink tips than leaders you may not believe it, but it's fact! Tips are a very popular item and we are happy to let you know that we now have the SA Skagit Tips in stock! These tips are not hot off the press, but they are new to us here at the Gorge Fly Shop.
Q: What stands out about Scientific Angler Skagit Sink tips?
A: First off these tips are textured, which reduces friction, making it a tad easier to pick up off water and secondly, they're tapered, thirdly they are density compensated, so they'll turn over your flies smoother and make your presentations better. Tips can be bought separately or in a complete kits.
As a side note to the introduction:
Most manufactures of Skagit and Scandi lines have their own versions of sink and floating tips that marry well with their products and this can be convenient, but that doesn't mean you couldn't mix and match with other manufactures tips.
For example, if I'm using an Scientific Anglers Skagit Head, I can use a RIO M.O.W. tip for sure. The beauty of this is that different makers of sink tips offer different lengths and sink rates to cover absolutely every fishing situation you find yourself in.
The Scientific Anglers Skagit Sink Tips have you covered in situations where you need a 1 inch per second sink rate up to a 6-7 inch per second sink rate. In comparison the the sink 6-7 inch per second would be equivalent to RIO'S M.O.W. Light Tip (T-8), which also sinks at about 6-7 inch per second.
Overwhelming would be an understatement when considering all the options we have in sink tips. There have been plenty of articles written on the subject over the years and it's all good...once you grasp it, it becomes much easier and makes sense.
