Scientific Anglers Frequency Full Sink Fly Line, Type VI

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Is this a full-sink fly line or a sink-tip line?

  A: This is a Type VI full-sink fly line with a weight-forward taper. It is designed to sink throughout the line for fishing deeper water. If you want only the tip to sink while the rest rides higher, you will want a different style of line.

• Q: How fast does this Type VI line sink?

  A: It has a fast-sinking rate of 3.0 to 5.0 ips. That sink rate is a good match when you want to get streamers down in still-water conditions.

• Q: What kind of fishing is this line best for?

  A: It is an all-purpose sinking line that is particularly effective for fishing streamers. We like it when you need to fish below the surface and keep your fly working deeper in the water column.

• Q: What taper and head style does it have?

  A: It has a weight-forward taper with a midlength head for enhanced line control. The line is built on a monofilament core.

• Q: What features help with casting and handling?

  A: The thin diameter is designed to cut through wind. It also has AST coating to provide continual line slickness, allowing the line to shoot farther.

• Q: How do I choose the right line weight for my fly rod?

  A: In most setups, we recommend matching the line weight to your rod's line rating. This line is offered in WF5S, WF6S, WF7S and WF8S so you can choose the weight that fits your rod and typical fly size.
