Check out this article for a method that uses full sink line, but presents the fly only a foot or so below the water.

This is a VERY effective method, and the full sink line is essential for proper presentation. I initially tried to get away with a sink tip, but the full sink presents the fly much better. Better in the sense that many more fish came to the fly once I committed to the sink line. (I fish on small to medium sized rivers.)

Jim Teeny sells a line that was designed by Kelly Galloup for streamer fishing with the jerk-strip retrieve. I use it, and I recommend it. [url=http://www.jimteeny.com:eabfd]http://www.jimteeny.com[/url:eabfd]

Good luck!
