I bought a multi tip 8 weight fly line line several years ago and never really used it, likely because the first time I did, I was icing up in the guides and couldn't get the loop-loop connection through the guides. I have used the floating tip with my skagit lines, throwing it with both a 650 and a 450 and with a long leader added to it, like 10-14 ft, it throws out nicely and effortlessly, or at least as good as I can do. Another option is to buy a running line, just the head of the Skagit line and then a Scandi head for throwing the floating stuff. That is what I did with my most recent rod and I can just change heads on the water if I need to get down. Still trying to figure out that Scandi cast though.....
