Troubleshooting

Line sinks too slowly.

Ensure you are using the correct sink rate for the depth of water and fishing conditions. Check for any dirt or debris on the line that might be affecting its sink rate.

Line tangles frequently.

Check your casting technique. Make sure your leader is the correct length and the fly line is not damaged. Inspect for wind knots and address them.

Adjust your casting stroke to accommodate the sink rate. Ensure the line is properly lubricated.
