Thanks for the reply. Oh, I got the bug too bad to not make it out there...it’ll happen- just might be next spring. Got the ladder/chair all set up and picked out a new 7w TFO BVK 9’6” rod to get.
My bad on the explanation. I could have been more clear. I’m not concerned about the weight of the line effecting landing a fish, it’s the loop to loop connection 40’ into your line. I have nightmares about a fish pulling that type of connection through the guides. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
The $200 Rio line I am looking at is an interchangeable multiple head line. It comes with a thin diameter floating running line with a welded loop. That connects to one of six different 30’ shooting heads in grains ranging from intermediate to rapid sink. I believe in the 7wt it’s like 150 grains to 380 or 2 in p/second to 10” per second. Not knowing the proper line sink rate for Pyramid, this seems like a versatile option, except for the price and the connection. The single shooting head line just seems like a wet tip or sink tip. There in lies my question. Is there a difference between a shooting head and sink tip?
