Update to my quest for sinking line for vertical jigging.

I have yet to try any of the following in fishing conditions, but I have looked at 3 variations in my outdoor pond.

1 - Typical floating braid that was rubbed with tungsten putty.
Looks like a waste of time. No noticeable increase in sink rate. Specific Gravity is ~0.98.
2 - XBraid Sinking SS 112. This sinking braid does sink, but not by much. Specific Gravity is 1.12.
3 - InVisX fluorocarbon. This seems to sink the best by far. Specific Gravity 1.78

In all 3 cases when pond testing all lines failed to break the surface tension of the water. Once pushed under the water surface lines #2 & 3 basically suspended under the water.

Plan to post my findings after I get some fishing time on the water with these lines. Livescope should give me an accurate view of the lines in the water with jigs attached. Hopefully one or both of the sinking lines will no produce the bow in the line that floating braid made. It is my thought that the line bow, caused by light current and possible wind is making deeper vertical jigging difficult. Even pitching the jig out from the boat, using floating braid, with no wind or current causes large bows because the line wants to float. I use 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigs and often add a 1/10 or 1/8 egg sinker pegged above the jig.
