Hey OM,
Good advice from Sean - and I'm taking it because this is a good topic. Dana's not monitoring the site very closely right now - he's avoiding his computer and taking some R&R. I know this because (1) he posted a message on the Spey Clave saying he would and (2) he's been down here in WA fishing a lot lately:devil:
Anyway, I haven't tried the sinking leaders yet but their biggest claim to fame is that you just knot a perfection loop at the end of your leader butt and attach them (or your mono leader) there instead of having to cut your flyline 15' back to accomodate sinktips.
I know that Dana and Kush even use them in the winter, but tell me it's a bit difficult to turn over the heaviest sinking leaders (those Type VI ones) when they're attached as a leader to your mono butt.
I'm sure they'll respond eventually. Many of us leave the board for periods of time. It's not because we don't want to respond or are ignoring anyone, it's just that we may not have computer access if on vacation or just want to take a break from the electronic ratrace
I know I'll be gone for several weeks the end of August and the beginning of September and probably won't even look at a computer the entire time. Just in case anybody cares
or has a question they think I should answer.
Anybody else out there using those sinking leaders?
