Sink Tips for Spey Rods: T vs Type, Sink Rates, Lengths & Efficiency
Sink tips are one of the most misunderstood—and most important—parts of a spey system. In this technical episode, we break down sink tips for spey rods and explain how to fish them more efficiently. We cover the key differences between “T” material tips and traditional “Type” tips, how sink rates change with different tip lengths, and why faster sinking doesn’t always mean better depth or presentation. We also talk through the tips we personally prefer, when we choose them, and how those choices lead to more consistent, efficient fishing. This episode is geared toward anglers who want to understand why their system works—not just copy a setup. In this episode: T tips vs Type tips: density, construction, and performance Sink rates explained (IPS vs real-world depth) How tip length affects swing speed and fly depth Matching sink tips to water type, flow, and rod Our go-to sink tips and why we fish them Common mistakes that kill efficiency Whether you’re dialing winter steelhead water or refining your overall spey approach, this episode will help you fish deeper, cleaner, and with more control.
