just got a new jim teeney 550 grain TS fly line from america. this is an extremely FAST SINKING LINE (9.5 INCHES PER SECOND). just thought id post a word on it. if their is anyone who fishes deep water marks for pollock get one. these lines are awssome. its possible ta shoot all 100 feet+ of line with 1 false cast. fished with it yesterday into a strong headwind and was still making 25+yards with a 5inch zonker fly(these are very wind resistant) with one false cast. the heads penetration into the wind was excellent with no tailing loops present, sumthing ive found with some scientific angler flylines. sinking rate was top notch and the fact that i got hung up on the bottom in 35 feet of water showed the true potential as to what depths are possible with this line.
one word of warning is that this line is not for the in experienced. because of the weight og the head the line has a habit of droppin quite low on the back cast which can lead to the afore mentioned tailing loops, one way to elleviate this is to use a type of steeple cast where by you stop ure bac cast halfway between 12 o clock and one, thus when the back cast does drop it is horizontal to the ground.
hope this is helpful to anyone interested.
