Multitip Lines,
In a recent Trout & Salmon (Oct or Nov 2003) there was a test of most of the commercially available multitip salmon lines. I think that Loop was quite highly ranked, although the line is no longer available (?), and indeed never has been, at least in Finland. Also Rio lines, especially Windcutter, was deemed as good, but there were some complaints about the price. The Mid-Spey and Grand -Spey were also in the test, but this years Musto Champion Scott Mackenzie, among others, thought that the GS was way too much work, and suitable for rods 16 ft and longer.
Personally, I have cast none of them, but the plan is to try Rios Windcutter with tips and test it against the scandinavian type short sinking shooting heads.
Actually this is quite funny, as people on your side of the pond (US) are going towards the scandinavian system, and some dumb scandinavians (like me) look for the longer heads with tips. What goes around, comes around, or how they say...
