Best Sink Tip Line For The Bow?

Recommended Posts

I need to replace my sink tip streamer line. I am not sure but I think my current line is an 8' sink tip 3 IPS sink rate. Does that sound correct for the Bow? My Bow River streamer set-up is an 8-weight rod with a sink tip line. I usually toss a double streamer set-up from a boat. I am a fan of Rio fly lines.

I realize I'm answering in ask the pros, and I'm not, but.

I think type 6 might be the best all around tip, as it will get down in the zone quicker and stay there longer. It will also allow you to cast lighter flies. The opposite, Heavier flies on a lighter tip, isn't fun to do (for me anyways).

I have rio streamertip in a 6ips for my 8 on its way in the mail.

When I'm swinging streamers on my switch, I typically fish a type 6 tip. If I'm hanging up I'll just modify my casting angle or speed of swing, or put on a lighter and/or bushier fly.
