Here's the idea:
Put a heavy section of t-14-18…etc above a lighter weight section, then put the fly on. In the current the heavy line would haul the lighter line and fly down, and you could control depth with rod angle/position.
The rivers near me are too low to test it, so whatcha think…good idea? Bad idea? Already been done?
I’ve been thinking about how using one could be awesome for a river like the Sol Duc where you’re not fishing at a consistent depth and might otherwise feel pressured to change tips a lot.
