Sinking Poly Leader

[jdfog2]

OLD thread - but I'm sorta an OLD man so. . .

I tried a poly leader a few times and it was kinda quirky but it worked.
I also got gifted three or four homemade sections of T-8 and T-12 in a couple of different lengths with loops tied on each end.

Those work pretty well but are a little bit to a lot "hingey" feeling at times. Still, they work ok for getting a fly down in fast water.
They just aren't much on casting.

Or maybe I'm not much of a caster with those looped on. But, I'm not all that good at casting all-in-one piece sink tip fly line unless it's short distances like against a bank either but I'll keep trying

If you're inclined to look: type "sink tips" into the big auction site search window you'll see some homespun sections of T-xx on there and get an idea what I am talking about if you haven't seen them before. After just searching that myself I think I need to start tying and marketing those ! Whew weee. They're proud of those.

Good luck out there!
