I use the Air Flow multi-tip.

QF1:
When I first read this I thought you might have been drunk when you wrote it. Then I read it again (because I am half drunk) and realized it made perfect sense. Good info.

epo, i just assumed we're all drunk when we write/read these posts. have i been the only one?
I'm sorry Dave. ****hiccup**** Did you say something.****urp***** 'scuse me.
I?ll cast my positive vote for multi-tips (pun intended). I love my Sci. Angler Quad tip line. I picked up the 12WT version a couple years back and it has more than proved its usefulness. It's spooled on my Islander 4.8LX and paired up with a T&T Horizon 12. These larger offshore outfits are far from cheap. Heck, even the extra spool on a reel like this isn't cheap. So, having the multi-tip allow me to have one rod and reel and yet be ready for anything the fish want to throw at me. If the Dolphin are on top chasing Flying Fish I can quickly switch to the full floating tip. If the Tuna come up on top I can stay with that or go into stealth mode http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif with the slow sinking ghost tip. If the fish are down deeper, I can convert to a moderate sinking tip in less than 30 seconds. If the fish are deep and don't want to come up, I can go to them with the fast sinking tip. I can do all that with one rod, one reel and no extra spools. If you are on a budget, the $120 for the line is more than worth the investment I say.

If it has fins and swims than I must chase it!
got my multi tip stiper fly line and it was for a 7 wt! What good is that gonna do me? I don't even own a 7 wt. so back it went. alas...
No no no Dave.
That is a sign that you need to buy yourself a 7 wt rod to go with the line. Preferably a 4 pc 10 footer - Sage Xi2 or Loomis.
I am so disappointed in you.
Epo, the thought really did cross my mind...
I love the 7 at this time of the year.
