To avoid any confusion , I meant using a Snowbee 2D floater with various home made tips ( as per What polyleader post) and not the Snowbee 2D sinktip line which I've never used. Can't see the point in a fixed length/ sinking rate factory built sinktip line when it's so easy to make your own. Regards. B.
Thanks for the clarification ibm59. Generally I am not a fan of fixed sink tip lines either, preferring to use multi-tips but find the Snowbee is a bit different - firstly, the tip is the best part of 30' (its somewhere between a sink tip and a full intermediate), secondly, it turns over and presents a fly far better than any other sink tip I have used, thirdly it is a slow/intermediate tip - therefore it is my preferred line fishing glassy glides in low water where I need delicate presentation, the ability to mend frequently and want to avoid the fly skating.
I must seek out the what polyleader post as polyleaders on floating lines are something I have never achieved satisfactorily results with.

I agree with CD, the Snowbee 2D Sink tip is a cracking line when deployed in these circumstances. I now find that I can get by all year round with the Guideline multi tip SH for early season and back end work, the Snowbee 2D sink tip and the full floater (with an intermediate polyleader as appropriate
