type 9 vs type 3 being how fast the line sinks?
What variety of type 9 are you using? Im on the lookout for a new deep sinker.Yes indeed. The higher the number, the faster the line sinks. A floater floats, (obviously lol), and intermediate sinks pretty slowly, a type 3 sinks a bit faster, type 5 faster yet, and so on.
Any line you're looking at will have the actual sink rate listed on the box, or on the specs if you're looking online
type 9 = 9 inches per second, type 3 = 3 inches per second (that would be inches sinking per second) and so forth.type 9 vs type 3 being how fast the line sinks?
Cortland Compact comes in a sink type 9
Yep, if you want to rope flounder at 65’-80’ of water with a slight current, you’re going to need the Cortland Type 9.I actually don't have one just yet. A couple guys I fish with often both picked one up over the summer and fished it a lot in open water rips and such and I was pretty impressed with how they fished. I want to say it was a Cortland line, but hopefully @ffb or @Irafly can chime in since I can't remember off the top of my head.
I kept saying I was going to pick one up but never got around to it. I like my type 7 40+ an awful lot but there was a clear difference in the depth those guys were fishing compared to mine.
I agreeHonestly it casts great and it fished well
Yep I got the Cortland Compact Type 9 this last summer as well. I used it exclusively as my open water coho line. There aren't many beaches where you wouldn't be snagging bottom with that thing it sinks like a rock.I actually don't have one just yet.

Thanks for this, I had no idea they made a type 9 sink line. Orders put in, there was a day last season on @jasmillo boat where a type 7 made all the difference for sure.Yep, if you want to rope flounder at 65’-80’ of water with a slight current, you’re going to need the Cortland Type 9.
Honestly it casts great and it fished well. I like it better than the T-11 stuff because the line is a bit easier to strip and handle.
