All of the sinking tips for my new Mid Spey 7/8 weigh the same, 109 grains.
Yet the type 3 sinks at 3 ips (w/o compensator), and the type 8 sinks at 8 ips (w/o compensator).
Does the smaller diameter of the type 8 enable it to sink faster than the type 3 of the same weight?
Is the sink rate measured in pool of water with no flow, and will the speed of river flow effect this sink rate?
