Compact Sink Type 6 WF 8／9 Fly Line Type 6 100 ft. Salt／Fresh Water 310 Gr.
The Compact Sink Type 6 WF 8/9 Fly Line is a fast-sinking line designed for both saltwater and freshwater fly fishing. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Specifications:
– Line Type: Type 6 (sinks at ~6 inches per second)
– Weight Forward (WF) Taper: Optimized for casting larger flies
– Length: 100 feet
– Grain Weight: 310 grains (suitable for 8/9-weight rods)
– Compatibility: Works in both saltwater and freshwater
– Core Material: Likely braided multifilament for durability
– Coating: High-density for fast sinking
Best Uses:
✔ Deep-water fishing (striped bass, pike, musky, saltwater species)
✔ Streamer fishing (getting flies down quickly)
✔ Windy conditions (helps cut through resistance)
✔ Boat/kayak fishing (effective for vertical presentations)
Pros & Cons:
✅ Fast sink rate for reaching deeper zones
✅ Saltwater-resistant (corrosion-resistant coating)
✅ Smooth casting with WF taper
❌ Not ideal for floating/suspending presentations
❌ Heavier grain weight may overload lighter rods
Recommended Rod Pairing:
– 8 or 9-weight fast-action fly rod (for optimal load and turnover)
– Sturdy reel with strong drag (for saltwater species)
