Overview
A weight forward fly fishing line with a sinking tip, available in IPS3 or IPS5 sink rates. The first 15 feet sinks while the remaining 85 feet floats, built with a braided core under PVC coating.
The line is meant for streamer fishing, where a sinking tip section helps get flies down while the running line stays on the surface. A welded loop on the front end simplifies leader connections, and a fatter body section is aimed at more balanced casting.
- IPS3 or IPS5 sink rate options
- First 15 feet sinking, remaining 85 feet floating
- PVC coating over braided core
- Welded loop on front end
Who it's for
Suited to fly anglers fishing streamers who want a sinking tip without switching to a fully sinking line. Not intended for anglers who need a fully floating or fully sinking line for their setup.
Pros and cons
- Welded loop for fast leader connections
- Braided core construction for reduced stretch
- Clear color marking between floating and sinking sections
- Sinking portion limited to the first 15 feet, not a full sink line
Performance notes
The first 15 feet of the line sinks at the IPS3 or IPS5 rate depending on which version is chosen, while the remaining 85 feet floats, letting the tip get the fly down while keeping the rest of the line manageable on the surface. The welded loop on the front end supports quick leader changes, and the orange to black color transition marks where the backing connection ends and the sink tip begins.
