Troubleshooting
Line not sinking as expected
Check if you have the correct sink rate for the water depth. Adjust your leader length to help your fly get down to the right depth. Ensure no grease or dirt is on the line affecting its sink rate.
Line memory causing casting issues
Stretch the line before use to reduce memory. Store the line on a large arbor reel when not in use.
Line tangling frequently
Check your casting technique and ensure the line is not catching on your rod guides or other objects. Use a line dressing to reduce friction.
