I use this with my spey setup and it’s made a big difference in adjusting depth without switching lines. The black S6 works well in deeper water and the loop is easy to attach and remove. Very reliable and simple to use.

Great tool for changing depth quickly. The color coding helps me know which sink rate I’m using at a glance. Works well with my #10 Scandi head and I don’t have to change lines often.

The welded loop at the butt is very secure and doesn’t come loose during casting. I’ve used it in both floating and intermediate conditions and it performs consistently.
