Hey!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write - is a tip obligatory? Or, is it usable as a floating line - or is that NOT the idea, at all?

Hiya,

Can anyone recommend good Switch fly line.

Hey!

Er...I've just bought a reel from Ebay, and it came with a Rio Windcutter 10/11 with a sink tip. (is this likely to be a versitip?)

Many thanks,

Good question!

Not sold as such, but the 11'3" #7 they sell is easy to cast with one hand...not som much the #9 ;-)
