fenwick profile fly line from canadian tire
 
ok heres the details:I bought some 25$ profile fenwick fly line at canadian tire. The tips starts to sink i think this might be because i clipped a bit of fly line of. so i thought of ways to seal it. i put a dab of floatant on might this help? The fly line casts very well. i can throw tight loops and make it land like its got a parachute on. BUT the tips sinks!!!!:mad2::mad3::mad::cry: so is the fly line i have good cause on the canadian tire website it dosent show fly line reviews

I just picked some of that stuff up last week, and I don't like it. Maybe it's my rod, but it doesn't cast as good as the line I had on before.

I have the same problem, someone told me to try and put floatant on the fly line and the leader. I haven't tried it yet, but it is a thought.
I have tried more expensive stuff and it casts a lot nicer and easer then the fenwick stuff I have, it seems you get what you pay for.

guys!
 
guys im not talking about how good it casts! im talking about how do you fix the sinking tips.

Cheap fly lines don't float. You need to to spend $50+ to get a good line. Try some Scientific angler lines (mastery series, professional series) or Rio lines. Cortland lazer lines are not too bad.

I like Scientific angler lines:

What weight rod are you using, maybe I got some line kicking around somewhere?

Cheers,
Doc

well i just got a 20$ cash infusion. Im thinking of buying some nice double taper 5 weight line in the 40-50$ range. the fishing hole sells some nice stuff.
