Manufacturers know your rod may be used in a number of fishing situations, but they can't judge your casting style and fishing skills. So when they place a recommended line number on your rod, it is implied that it's for average fishing conditions. First, understand that you're not going to damage a fly rod using fly line a little lighter or heavier than is recommended. Certainly, at times, the rod will fish better if different line sizes are used.
- Match line weight to conditions
- Line weight and speed needs to vary
- Heavier line is often necessary
- Use shooting Tapers for greater distance
So don't limit yourself to the standard guidelines given by rod manufacturers. Experiment with different line weights for special fishing conditions. You will be pleased with the results.

Shooting Lines
Choosing the correct shooting line for your fly line affects the distance you cast, the control you have over your fly, and ultimately the number of fish that you hook.
Sink Tip
The sink-tip line is a combination of the floating fly line and sinking fly line. The first 10 to 30 feet is the sinking section; the balance is a floating line. It is the most common line used today for fishing nymph and streamers.
Sink Lines
Sink lines are rated on how fast they sink. Usually they are weight forward and the body also sinks. They range from intermediate all the way through to Type 7. Typical use is still water fishing.
