Regarding sink rates and depth gaing abillities:
Throwing the same modestly sized and weighted fly in a moderate flow, what would gain more depth, a dozen feet of T-14 or a type 8 density compensated tip. I know there would be weight variations in the different tips (a 15' 150 grain type 8 Rio sink tip vs 168 grains for 12' of T-14) but they both feel about the same in casting.
A discussion arose recently among friends about what to use to get the deepest while still retaining a reasonable castabillity, so I'm ruling out the Big Boys, Leviathons and such, but the 20' Airflo custom cut @200 grains is a possibillity too.
