Scientific Anglers Frequency Sink Tip Fly Line

Featuring a Type III 10′ sinking tip, the Frequency Sink Tip is great for streamer fishing from a boat, while wading, or just about anywhere—mall water fountains excluded.

Used this line for streamer fishing on a river and found it to be very effective. The tip sinks quickly and keeps the fly below the surface without dragging. Great control when casting from a boat or while wading.
Joshua Springer –
Felt the mid-length head improved my casting accuracy. It’s perfect for targeting trout in moving water. Sink rate is consistent and the line holds up well in wind and current.

I’ve used it for both wading and boat fishing. The fast sinking action helps me get flies down where the fish are. No issues with tangles or line drag in the current.
