Great line for moving big flies and sink tip gets it down to 4' range for stripping back. Line best used with one backcast and then shoot (this still will fly, make sure you've got line to let out).
Ego booster for casting - now you can suddenly cast 50' no problem. Feels like you're casting Skagit head with sink tip. Nice to add to the line quiver.

Shoots like a cannon. This is what you want for big streamers!

The line can easily cast very large streamers, has a nice sinking behavior and still gives you more casting control than a Rio outbound short. Great!

This sink tip does the job of getting down fast and shoots great. It came in handy last week for casting streamers to smallmouth from a drift boat and pairs well with my new 7 weight Sage R8.

Purchased the Orvis Bankshot WF7-F/S7. I've heard good things about the line. Haven't used the line a whole lot but it does cast well and sink well. Landed a decent brown trout on it while using an articulated streamer in a run where nymphing produced no results. I guess throwing a large streamer on a sinking line was the way to go. I use to use a 5' loop to loop sink tip on my fly line with some success, but i think this line puts my streamer in the zone better.
