I’ve used this line for several weeks on clear lakes and it sinks consistently at 6 inches per second. The feel is smooth and the rod loads well without drag. Great for nymphing and dry fly presentations.
Eric Ogden –
The sink rate is exactly what I needed for my trout fishing. It’s a bit heavier than standard lines, which helps with rod sensitivity. The coating stays clean even after multiple uses in cold water.

This line performs reliably in both still and moving water. I appreciate the predictable sink rate and how it reduces line drag during casting. It’s a solid choice for average anglers.
