River dog- thanks for your well written explanation. I can tell you have a wealth of knowledge in fly fishing. I believe your right about only needing one type of sinking line and purchasing the $200 rio multipack is overkill- but I still don’t know which type would be the “one”. I’m guessing I may settle in on that one due to the versatility of it and being able to go from dredging deep water to fishing a shallow flat without needing a bunch of extra spools. It will also guarantee I’ll find that one that will work best for Pyramid.
Tub- I’ve seen people rigging up like that. It looks like a great inexpensive way to accomplish this. I’m sure if you can get the line flying out the head would carry it a mile. I don’t strip into a basket. Do you have problems with the mono sinking and when shooting line having the line sink and stick in the water while paying out line on the cast? The factory shooting lines seem to have a really small diameter running line that floats, which would make it pick up much easier than a sinking line. I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to strapping a Tupperware bucket around my waist to strip into.
Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it.
