Full sinking lines are usually marked WF5 type III. Meaning weight forward 5 weight sink 3. Sink tips put a number instead of a type.
Most full sinking lines are either Density Compensated meaning the weight is distributed in the line it's self to form a straight line to the fly.
Then there is Wet Cell where the weight is more in the running portion of the line so it will form a belly . The running line sinks faster than the tip.
So basically, you will need to cast maybe 70' +of line if you are casting in front of you say 20' for that line to hit the bottom. Once you start stripping line in the fly will start to come to the surface with the line.
Maybe look at some line called Depth Charge. It is 30' of grain weight line transitioning into 70' of intermediate. This will drag the fly along the bottom.
