sinking tip

sinking tip
in fly fishing, a line weighted at the tip to sink the fly in deep water. An intermediate line sinks about 1 inch in a second and is used on lakes to cast in windy conditions and to sink below the waves. A full-sinking line are used for fishing at depth; their sink rates can go up to 8 inches per second. Sink-tip lines are used in rivers; the first 5-15 feet sinks but the rest of the line floats and facilitates control; sink rates are 1-5 inches per second. Integrated-head lines are used for casting long distances and sinking quickly; the front, sinking portion or head is between 20 and 30 feet and is followed by a thin running line, floating or intermediate in type
