Bulk sinking line source?

[SilverFly]

Looking for a source for bulk sinking line in various T-ratings to build some custom saltwater lines.

Maybe I just need to shop around more but all I've found so far are tips and fully integrated sink tip lines. I don't need miles of the stuff, but also not about to hack up expensive, ready-to-fish products either.

Suggestions?

Many fly shops carry bulk spools of sinking line but you might not find that listed on their websites.
It’s worth a call to a few of the locally well known shops to see if they have it in stock.

Good idea. Thanks!

I know Cortland used to sell T material on big spools but this is all I see on the site now.

Per a recent discussion, Avid Angler carries it in bulk.

Avid Angler has a couple on staff that will put loops on those lines if you like. They make very nice small loops.

Good to know but not needed. Plan is to build sinking heads by stuffing sections of varying T line weights into hollow-core braid. Then coat as a full length integrated line with a flexible resin I've messed around with before. Those past experiments were a massive PITA then, but did work. Using the hollow braid simplifies things to the point its actually worth doing.

Doubt they have the T-85 class sinking line you really want.. Good luck with your latest version, hope that finish process works out for you.
