Works Great

I wish they made it in a 3 wt but I shorten the head and remake the welded loop and it works great on my 3 wt throwing little streamers.

Illegal stripping😎

Line issues

Line is not as smooth as I would hope. Problems with the line not breaking surface tension to sink

sinking line

Like these lines. Been using them for years on t he lakes. So glad you still make them. Tried the floating hover sink 3 or 5 . Do not like them. Do not know where my fly is.
