Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 Well, I have a #10 floating line and a #10 sink tip line. And at this point in time I can't afford more lines or multiple spools or reels. What I was thinking of, was, removing the sinking portion of the line, fitting loops, and attaching to the end of the floating line (with another loop) so, I get the versatility of floating line, but, with a quick change, I can get the fly down. Now, would adding the extra sink tip length (15 foot) to the floating line, cause problems? Or. would I have to cut the floating line, so there's a portion of line the same length as the sink tip, and have a floating line, with interchangeable floating and sinking tips? My heads starting to hurt trying to work this out lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterjay 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 Your head's gonna hurt a lot worse when you figure out you've wrecked two lines and can't afford to replace either one of them. My advice is to let well enough alone and start putting your pocket change in a jar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 Go with sink tips and you can fish a lighter fly which moves better than a heavier tube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
