Ok, what do you do for your line when the tip starts to sink? I know it is an issue with water wicking in the core. How do you seal the ends of your lines?

Cut off a few inches of line before you reseal to be sure you don't seal water in the line. I cut the line at an angle and fold it back on itself to form a loop. Nail knot the end to the standing line and seal it with Knot Sense. Next best thing to a welded loop. If you cure a drop of knot sense and drop it in water it floats. That can't hurt!

I haven't been fishing in over a month now, so it should be bone dry.

Heat up a little dab of silicon fly floatant get. Dip the tip of the line and let it wick into the core......
