Full sink type IV line casting. - peter805 - 10-22-2009 Im having hard time casting my full sink type IV 5wt line out of my float tube. Standing up it gets a little better. My question would be what action rod would be the best for that line. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Full sink type IV line casting. - flygoddess - 10-22-2009 5 is a fine rod. I admit I use 6 weight mostly on stillwater, because I can cast BIG flies. My hubby uses 5 weight. I have found some sinking lines just don't want to load up for some reason. You know what I mean. You are false casting trying to feed line on the forward and normally you can feel it slide through your fingers. Or Double hauling, you feel that tug. But I have some sinking line, I swear I have to muscle and I just don't feel the load. Maybe try it on a 4 weight or buy heavier line like a 6 weight. I think it is my Rio sinking line. My Orvis sinking line casts great! [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Full sink type IV line casting. - peter805 - 10-22-2009 Yeah, maybe i will try to overline it one size and see what happens. Thank you Joni. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Full sink type IV line casting. - albinotrout - 10-23-2009 I use sink III and I don't have any problem with my 5 weights. [signature] Re: [albinotrout] Full sink type IV line casting. - flygoddess - 10-23-2009 Absolutely. I have sinking line for my 4 weight and my 3 weight when I had it. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Full sink type IV line casting. - peter805 - 10-23-2009 I think it maybe the rod. My TFO Professional series casts all lines no problem but this St.Croix Cabelas special just feels like a broom stick and casts like a $hit. It was on sale from like $150 down to $60. I think Im going to replace it with Sage Launch maybe. I sure like that TFO a LOT.May I get one more TFO but then I would like to try something new too. Hmmm......... What to do ? What to do................. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Full sink type IV line casting. - peter805 - 10-23-2009 Ok, I just got back from the park. I did try that line back to back with both of those rods and the TFO cast that line much much better. I think I need one more TFO or try that Sage Launch. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Full sink type IV line casting. - flygoddess - 10-23-2009 Better hurry, Like Sage in the past, they come out with a killer rod to only discontinue it. Launch is going by by [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Full sink type IV line casting. - macfly55 - 10-23-2009 that is true.. so the launches that remain you can get for a really good price.. :-) MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Full sink type IV line casting. - peter805 - 10-23-2009 Yes, good price and I been reading some really good feedback on those as well.
