So I picked up a Rio UniSpey 10/11F Versitip 750gr for less than $10. It is 64 feet. Could I in theory cut it down in about half to have two 375 gr lines at about 32 feet? I realize there is a slight taper from front to back on these, but I would imagine that right in half would be within a couple of grains, maybe one 380-385 gr and one 365-370 gr. I was going to make new loops with a couple of nail knots in mono. I have chopped up sink tip and floating lines to make some tips before and they seemed to work okay, not perfect, but free with a little effort. I know almost all the old school lines were made by performing surgery on the available lines at the time. Any ideas or experience with this?
