# **How to Choose Fly Fishing Line: Sink Tip, Weight Forward, Floating Fly Line 100FT (No Welded Loops)**
Fly fishing is an art that requires precision, patience, and the right gear. Among the most critical components of your setup is the fly line. Choosing the right fly line can significantly impact your casting distance, presentation, and overall success on the water. In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when selecting a **Sink Tip, Weight Forward, Floating Fly Line (100FT, No Welded Loops)**—perfect for anglers who demand versatility and performance.
## **1. Understanding Fly Line Types**
### **Floating Fly Line**
A floating fly line is the most versatile option, ideal for dry flies, nymphing, and shallow water presentations. It remains on the surface, allowing for delicate drifts and easy mending.
### **Sink Tip Fly Line**
A sink tip line combines a floating main section with a sinking tip (usually 5-15 feet). This design helps get flies down to deeper fish while maintaining control. It’s excellent for streamers, wet flies, and fishing in moderate currents.
### **Weight Forward (WF) Design**
Weight Forward lines have a thicker, heavier front section that aids in long, accurate casts. They are the most popular choice for freshwater and saltwater fly fishing due to their efficiency in loading the rod quickly.
## **2. Key Features to Consider**
### **Line Weight (1-12)**
Match your fly line weight to your rod’s weight rating. A **5-7 weight** is ideal for trout, while **8-12 weights** are better for bass, pike, and saltwater species.
### **Sink Rate (For Sink Tip Lines)**
Sink tips come in different sink rates (measured in inches per second—IPS). A **slow sink (1-2 IPS)** is great for shallow water, while a **fast sink (5-7 IPS)** is better for deep pools and strong currents.
### **No Welded Loops**
Lines without welded loops offer a cleaner connection for loop-to-loop or nail knot setups. This allows for a smoother transition between leader and fly line, reducing drag and improving turnover.
### **Durability & Coating**
High-quality fly lines feature durable coatings that resist cracking and memory. Look for **low-stretch cores** for better sensitivity and **slick coatings** for longer casts.
## **3. Best Applications for Each Line Type**
– **Floating Line:** Dry fly fishing, delicate presentations, still water.
– **Sink Tip Line:** Streamers, deep nymphing, river fishing.
– **Weight Forward Line:** Long-distance casting, windy conditions, saltwater.
