It is keep a tight line all the way through a drift, but I lift the tip of the rod rather then pulling line in.
Great with softhackles. I prefer weighted flies over split shot in tight-line (also called High Sticking or short lining).
And split shot with indicators, but if it is a slow current, again I will just use weighted flies.
I am not crazy about split shot and casting, but I see the need. I prefer sink tips or full sink lines. Easier on the rods...LOL
