Tip

Tip: Change sink-tip density before changing the whole rig

How to do it: Adjust sink-tip densities first, using a varied set as a baseline and marking tips for identification, rather than rebuilding the rig

Mistake it fixes: Changing the whole rig first

Why it works: Sink-tip density controls depth directly. Changing it first is faster and preserves a rig that is otherwise working.

When it matters most: Steelhead, swung flies
