so i tried a new braid this weekend. it sinks!

Sunline ALmight.  dumb name.   but it works. 

i got the bright pink line.  time will tell how that fades.  pink turns out isnt that visible to my eyes.  white or yellow pops for me more.  but all it comes in is camo or pink.

i am a fan of the drop shot.  i cast the dropshot on a spinning setup.  usually 20lb braid.   Almight came in 19lb, so i bought that. 

it sinks.  i have a flouro leader and i can see the pink line drape into the water.  usually my Suffix floats and then dives down as the weight pulls it down. but there is a big section of horizontally floating braid.  i have to believe that affects me detecting a bite (until i pull in all the slack)

i got big fish of the day with it.  seems to work fine.

oh.  the line that came on the spool is so thin..165 yards?  something like that.  i spooled it on with some mono backing, and it didnt fill my Shimano Vanford 2500.  i had to take it off the reel with an empty baitcaster i had laying around, and use about 1/6th depth of new mono to get the reel to fill up with the Almight stuff.

Interesting. Give us a good review after you fish with it for a while.

Yes, please keep us in the loop on performance and if it continues to sink over time.  I also have recently switched to colored braid for visibility, but they all float, so you have to always keep a semi slack line to see any line twitches...

Stren used to make a sinking about 15 years ago.  It was based on a similar design, a braided line around a sinking core.  It was noticeably thicker than floating braid.

Huh. That would be good for a lot of things. Dropshots, jighead minnows, and crankbaits come to mind.

It sinks just like my flouro leader.  Nice!  The pink is fading quickly tho.

Sounds like it might be a good opportunity to ditch the leader altogether. Maybe color the last few feet of line with a Sharpie if you're worried about the pink color.

I like leader.  It's a confidence thing.
