 Posts: 2733 | You can buy lead core sink tips with loops on either end. Loop one end to the end of your fly line and tie a Perfection loop a piece of tippet and loop it to the other loop. If you don't like the idea of lead core you could always buy a cheap level sinking line and whip finish a loop on either end and use it as mentioned above. | |

| Coosbay or Posts: 3 | thanks for your reply, I have sinking tips, they cast great with my 5 & 7wt, but seem to be to overburdening for my 2 wt. to cast affectively. But it dose the job when trolling from a boat. It seems that if casting is going to be my objective, than a heavier rod will have to do. Sadly it isn't near as enjoyable as targeting fish with an ultra lite. | |

Posts: 2733 | I have another idea and don't know why I didn't think of it before - buy a couple of those Rio Versi leaders. They come in different lengths and weights so I'd bet you could find a combination that will work for your light rod setup. Worst case you might have to recognize the #2 is just too light and go to a #4 which I would still consider a very light rod. | |

| Columbia county,NY Posts: 76 | Can you find a 3 wt line with a sinking tip? Might work with the 2 wt rod. | |

| Coosbay or Posts: 3 | thanks guys for your thoughts, ill check with orvis on a #3 weight forward, but there isn't a lot of options for a #2. its designed for dry flies. I enjoy its feel so much that I tend to push its limitations. thanks again and fish on..... | |
