# **How to Choose the New Full Sinking Fly Fishing Line – Weight Forward Taper (WF 4, 5, 7, 9, 90FT)**
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, as it directly affects casting distance, accuracy, and presentation. If you’re targeting deep-water species or fishing in fast currents, a **full sinking fly line** can be a game-changer.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the right **Weight Forward (WF) full sinking fly line** from **KyleBooker**, covering key factors such as sink rate, line weight (WF 4, 5, 7, 9), and taper design to help you make an informed decision.
## **Understanding Full Sinking Fly Lines**
Unlike floating or sink-tip lines, a **full sinking fly line** is designed to submerge entirely, allowing your fly to reach deeper zones where fish like trout, bass, and steelhead often hold. These lines are ideal for:
– **Deep lakes and reservoirs**
– **Fast-moving rivers and streams**
– **Saltwater fishing for species like striped bass and bonefish**
### **Key Features of KyleBooker’s Full Sinking WF Fly Line**
1. **Weight Forward (WF) Taper**
– The **WF taper** ensures smooth, long-distance casts by concentrating weight toward the front of the line.
– Perfect for anglers who need quick loading and minimal false casting.
2. **Multiple Sink Rates**
– **Slow Sink (1-2 IPS)** – Best for shallow waters or when fish are suspended.
– **Medium Sink (3-4 IPS)** – Versatile for mid-depth fishing.
– **Fast Sink (5-6+ IPS)** – Ideal for deep pools and strong currents.
3. **Line Weights (WF 4, 5, 7, 9)**
– **WF 4-5**: Great for delicate presentations in small streams or light trout setups.
– **WF 6-7**: A balanced choice for medium-sized rivers and bass fishing.
– **WF 8-9**: Best for heavy flies, windy conditions, or saltwater applications.
4. **90FT Length**
– Provides ample line for long casts while maintaining control.
## **How to Choose the Right Full Sinking Line**
### **1. Match the Sink Rate to Your Fishing Depth**
– If fish are holding near the bottom in 10+ feet of water, a **fast-sinking (5-6 IPS)** line is best.
– For mid-column fishing, a **medium sink (3-4 IPS)** offers better control.
– In shallow waters, a **slow sink (1-2 IPS)** prevents spooking fish.
### **2. Select the Correct Line Weight**
– **WF 4-5**: Ideal for small flies and light rods (3-5wt).
– **WF 6-7**: A versatile choice for most freshwater species.
– **WF 8-9**: Necessary for large flies, wind resistance, or saltwater species.
### **3. Consider the Fishing Environment**
– **Fast currents** require a faster sink rate to keep the fly in the strike zone.
– **Still waters** allow for slower sink rates and more controlled retrieves.
### **4. Rod and Reel Compatibility**
– Ensure your rod’s weight rating matches the fly line (e.g., a **5wt rod pairs with a WF5 line**).
– Use a **large-arbor reel** to handle the thicker sinking line and provide smooth retrieval.
## **Why Choose KyleBooker’s Full Sinking Fly Line?**
– **Superior durability** with a slick coating for smooth casting.
– **Precision-tapered design** for effortless distance and accuracy.
– **Multiple sink rates and weights** to match any fishing scenario.
## **Final Tips for Using a Full Sinking Line**
– **Countdown method**: After casting, count seconds to estimate depth before retrieving.
– **Retrieve speed**: Vary your retrieve to find the fish’s preferred strike zone.
– **Line maintenance**: Rinse after saltwater use and store properly to extend lifespan.
## **Conclusion**
