Has anyone tried the sinking version of the Monteith multi tip??
If you have I would love to know what you think of it.
I have the original floating version and find it to be a very handy line but could do with somethig to get down a little better in heavy water.
Cheers
Graham

Graham I have one, but only since last summer-so not had a serious go at sunk line fishing. I used it mostly as an inty.
I will give it a serious work out this feb. You can borrow it if you are on the Dee this spring.

Cheers Ross,
I'm not sure if I will be around on the Dee this Spring but if I get a chance I will give you a shout.

Persuaded the wife to order me one for Christmas and got to try it for the first time yesterday on The Tummel. I believe that this line system it is ideal for spring and autumn fishing and for high-water summer fishing on large and medium sized rivers. I knew that the line would allow me to fish at just about any depth, from intermediate downwards. However, what impressed me was the castability of the line, which was far superior to my current intermediate.
I was launching it from a Sharpes Plus 3 15ft3 #10/11. As I was fishing a 2 inch copper tube fly, and there was not much water, I was only able to try out the Fast and Extra-fast tips, which are rated 3 and 6 ips respectively I believe. Was easily casting out the 61ft head plus shooting another 10-15 yards with either a double-spey or a roll to the surface followed by a single-spey. There was absolutely no breeze yesterday.
Look forward to trying some of the other tips with smaller flies as the season progresses; and to give it a cast in both good up and downstream hoolies!
As for the fishing: only thing I saw was a dead kelt, but the casting and drinking more than made up for it ;-)
Greetings to you all,
Donny
