Sink tips
"15 foot replacement tips are the only ones to use. Pair them with the Skagit max game changer FI/S3/S5 and you are set to cover the fall run."
15ft replacement tips for VersiTip and Skagit lines.
These tips have a tapered front end that allows for a much better presentation than level tungsten (“T”) tips. They are mostly available in five different densities; floating, intermediate, slow sinking (Type 3), fast sinking (Type 6) and extra fast sinking (Type 8), and have welded loops in both ends for easy attachment. 15 ft tips are available in
numerous different sizes as well as densities.

These tips are 15ft long, and have a steady front taper of about 3ft, which allows for good presentation of a fly. Each tip has a color coded loop at the rear, and is printed with the tip size - attach the printed end to the fly line. The tips are built on RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the maximum in sensitivity and performance, and are density compensated at the front end (not the intermediate) for the best fishing performance.
There are five density options available:
Floating: (straw color, 7wt to 10wt)
Intermediate: 1.5-2 ips (gray color with gray loop, 6wt to 10wt)
Sink 3: 3-4 ips (brown color with yellow loop, 6wt to 10wt)Sink 6: 6-7 ips (black color with gray loop, 6wt to 10wt)
Sink 8: 8-9 ips (black color with green loop, 8wt to 10wt)
Each tip has the following weight:
#6 - 84 grains
#7 - 95 grains
#8 - 109 grains
#9 - 129 grains
#10 - 150 grains

"Classic tip for classic day on the water. The whole 15ft sink tip series has been such a good tip for years now."
— Damien B. (5/5)
"These tips are the best tips in my opinion. Using a 15’ tip allows you to stay in the “zone” for much longer in true swing water and they cast extremely well paired with the rio scandi body."
— steve s. (5/5)
"The taper just makes these cast so much smoother than a chunk of TXX"
— Cheryl O. (5/5)
"Superb balance"

"Good loop to loop connection. Little hard to read small print on the line."
— Larry A. (5/5)
"Terrific sink tip because they cast so easily. The reason they do is because they are tapered. Buy them, cast them, you will love them!!!"
— Ronald A. (5/5)
