Multi Tip Fly Lines- Good Or Bad?

[Grant Miller]

I'm wondering if the fly lines that have several tips (floating, intermediate, slow sinking tip, fast sinking tip) are any good. Who has used them? Do they cast well? Any problems? It seems like a killer idea to save on buying 4 lines and 3 spare spools, but I don't want junk. What say you?

Since no one else has responded I'll bite. The high price of those multi tip lines has always put me off. And I did test cast one once and it didn't cast well. There was a kind of a hinge effect where the sections joined.

Rio makes sinking leaders that do pretty much the same thing for much less $$.

Thanks for the input Greg. I wondered about the casting of a line with the loops holding the tip to the main line. The price wouldn't bother me too bad if it really worked though......

Anyone else?
