Controlled Depth in Shallow Water
A 10 ft Type 3 sink tip keeps streamers tracking through the middle water column without reaching the bottom too quickly.
Cortland Streamer Sink Tip 10 T3 pairs a 10 ft Type 3 sink tip with a high-floating rear section to maintain consistent tracking for both unweighted and weighted streamers through the middle water column. The tip sinks at 3 to 4 inches per second, making it ideal for shallow creeks, rivers, riffles, and lake edges where faster-sinking lines may reach the bottom too quickly.
The full line size is heavy and aggressive, allowing it to load fast-action rods quickly.

Used this line in a shallow creek and it stayed in the middle water column perfectly. The sink rate is just right and the streamers didn’t hit the bottom too soon. Great for riffles and edges where other lines would sink too fast.
Karen Fraser –
Felt stable during casting and the line kept my streamers floating at the right depth. Works well with my fast-action rod and doesn’t tangle easily.

Perfect for lake edges and shallow rivers. The 3 to 4 inch per second sink rate keeps the bait in the zone without hitting the bottom. Highly recommended for shallow water fishing.
