Sink tip lines have for many years been a favourite with the most dedicated sea trout anglers. Many, myself included, were very disappointed with many of the lines available commercially due mainly to a “tip heavy??? feeling on casting, leading to poor control and presentation.
For many years I resorted to cutting and splicing fly lines to aid turnover and presentation and achieved this by splicing lighter sinkers to heavier floaters most often AFTM 8 floaters to AFTM 6 sinkers. These lines performed well as casting lines but unfortunately the fine tip did not aid the turnover of larger flies, especially Tubes or Snake lures.
Four years ago I decided that a new approach was needed to address this problem. After many prototypes had been tested by myself and friends, I eventually solved the problem and developed the SewinCaster range of lines which I feel covers all the needs of both the addicted sea trout angler and occasional fisher. The tips of the lines have been weight balanced to give smooth, hinge free casting, essential for all forms of fly fishing. |
