Guideline Classic Trout WF Sinking Fly Line ( S3 / S5 / S7 )
Overview
The Guideline Classic Trout in sinking version is a full sinking fly line designed to quickly reach the right depth in lakes, reservoirs or slow rivers. Its WF (Weight Forward) taper delivers excellent versatility: easy casting and clean distance control.
Available densities and sink rates
| Version | Sink rate | On-the-water guide |
|---|---|---|
| S3 / Sink 3 | ≈ 3 ips (≈ 7.6 cm/s) | Gradual descent for fishing mid-water and working the margins without ploughing the bottom. |
| S5 / Sink 5 | ≈ 5 ips (≈ 12.7 cm/s) | A versatile density to quickly reach the holding zone, very effective in wind or slow current. Especially suited to Booby fishing. |
| S7 / Sink 7 | ≈ 7 ips (≈ 17.8 cm/s) | For deep water: drop-offs, holes, large lakes/reservoirs. Gets down fast and stays in the right layer. Also ideal for Booby fishing, especially to hold a consistent depth and fish “right on” the active zone. |
Key features
- Versatile WF taper.
- Smooth, pleasant coating: very good shoot through the guides.
- Low-stretch core (≈ 6%): better bite detection and more direct hook-sets— a real plus with sinking lines.
- Factory welded line/backing loops: easy rigging and quick density changes.
- ID marking: lets you identify the line precisely (range, taper, line weight and density), for example: Classic Trout / WF6 / S5.
Recommended uses
- S3: margins, flats, mid-water fishing, fine searching without repeated snagging.
- S5: the go-to lake/reservoir density, great for covering water and very well suited to Booby fishing.
- S7: deep presentations, holes and drop-offs, fish pinned to the bottom, the benchmark for Booby when you need to stay down and fish effectively in depth.
Value for money
The sinking Classic Trout line really stands out for its exceptional value: genuinely useful finishes (welded loops, quick ID marking), very versatile handling, low stretch and solid performance, without stepping up to “premium” pricing.
