Sinking fishing line with 5½" to 6½"/second sink rate. The best sink tip line made for fishing nymphs, wets, streamers and steelhead flies in fast or deep water. This sinking line allows you to cast farther, get to the fish faster. Weight-forward taper is combined with an Orvis-exclusive 15' super-high-density front taper. Light fluorescent yellow floating portion, dark brown sink tip. Sinking line weights: 6-12.

Sink Tip for Smallies...& Reds,
June 17, 2008
By:
RiverOtterfrom Blue Ridge Mountains
"Arguably, the best sink tip I have ever used. For smallies holding deep to subsurface reds, this sink tip gets the fly down fast, loads the rod well and allows pin-point accurate casting. Perfect for swinging nymphs and streamers and ripping baitfish patterns into schooling salties. Ever wonder where the fish are? This is a must have for getting in front of them."

Roll cast and MEND!
"Fishing the Nipigon is challenging, not just for the fisherman, but for the fly line. The water is very fast, very deep and it drops off quickly from shore; like 30 feet in just 2 feet. The Speckled Trout are stacked up against the edge, and they're not going to move an inch if they don't have to. It requires long upstream casts, a lot of mending while the line sinks and then waiting for the swing. You have GOT to get your line down. Of course the power of a Zero-Gravity or TLS rod helps; still, this line sinks extra fast and yet is easy to mend."

Awesome contol on Sinking Tip!,
October 5, 2007
By:
Chaaazfrom Boston, MA
"Tried this sinking tip line, and it is a *very* consistent line in terms of ease of casting, sink rate, feel, and durability! This is the best line I have tried using for nymphs, and soon for Fall Salmon. It casts very smoothly, maintains a great feel in the water, and strips back just as smoothly! Another gem from Orvis!"
