Quincy1 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am looking at getting a sinking line for fishing on the bow for streamers, i am using a 4wt 9'sage launch and sage 1650 reel. I would like a recomendation between RIO Streamer Tip Float/Int 4wt WF4F/I 15ft clear line and yellow 1.5-2 ips, or the RIO DC WF4F/S3 4WT 15FT SINK TIP yellow/brown 3-4ips. Any recomendations or suggestions would be great. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 In my opinion a 4wt is too light a rod for purpose. Any decent sized streamer will be challenging to cast. Do you have a 5wt or 6wt rod? If not I highly recommend going this route. There are a number starter rods these weights for sale on the forum. Then you could use your 4wt for dries and a 5wt,6wt for streamers and nymphing. regarding the line quicker to the bottom the better!
