Meat Box Swap

Midnight, yea I really liked the concept and when I fished it certain ways it looked really nice, but I was fishing a medium size stream with a 4wt and floating line.

I was a little worried about that - a lot of guys I know don't even own a sinktip, let alone full sinking line. That's a pattern that fishes best from a boat in relatively big water.

Yea I use sink leaders, but only use them on the Lehigh or Delaware. Never saw the need for tips, unless I am fishing salt. But again, I really like the pattern. I had a big boy explode on it the other day, but I think it refused at the last second, because it waked.

Get the mini-sink tips that Cortland makes. They sell them cheap at ****s. You definitely need them to throw some unweighted big streamers. They get much more action than adding lead or a fishskull to them.

$12 online. Not a bad deal at all in case ****s no longer has them. I think I paid $8 for mine.

Where do you buy the heat shrink loop to loop connectors? Or do you just nail knot it?
