OUCH![laugh][laugh][laugh]
You posted just right. The problem I have is sink tips are limited on stillwater...therefore, I was trying to kill two birds with one stone.
Meaning, a full sink line is the way to go on stillwater, BUT they are also awesome on moving waters....therefore, ONE reel and One extra spool...LOL
I got to say, I bought ONE reel for my 8 weight as I don't use it all that often. I did go the extra mile and bought the multi tip line. Granted allot of money...FOR ONE LINE, but this is four lines now and now the price makes sense.
It is a floating line with a floating head, and intermediate head, a TYPE III head and a TYPE V head. They are 15' long and with a 7 foot leader not bad on big waters, but trying to use them on smaller rivers (carp!) I found the 20+' hard to deal with. The connection was always right at the tip top guide, and it isn't a real smooth transition, so it was a pain.
That is why I now say, try the lines that are ONE piece. Like my Depth Charge. It is 30' of lead core line that turns into 70 ft of intermediate, no connections. The streamer lines are the same, but as I said very heavy. I ended up cutting my streamer line off about 5'. It won't change the taper as the sink portion is uniformed. MUCH BETTER.
BAsically without cutting it off, it was like trying to cast a 12' leader with 20 "BB" split shot. CHUCK -n- DUCK
