I understand the sink tips are the way to go unless one is skating dries. It seems that sink tips as long as twenty feet are being used to get the flies down deep and using three feet of tippet. How does one cast such a long heavy leader? It does not sound pretty to me . Of what use is a shorter sink tip such as six feet or even four feet or is longer necessary? I have a WF9S number six rate sinking line, but mending that thing would be something else.
Have I been wasting my time just using a weighted fly with my WFF line?
Thank you.
