Floating or Intermediate

[SAXATILUS]

Skip, If you are fishing in any kind of current from shore a floater is the only way to go imo. Once your line sinks below the surface you have zero control over what it does. If you need to get deeper looping on sections of lead core and /or adding split-shot should be all you will ever need from shore. A multi tip line is another option. I have the airflo wich is a floating running line with 4 interchangable 12' tips that are loop to loop, and go from floating to fast sink and you would swear you are casting a full line. Your flies are on the way

How about line weight on the floaters. Should i go up a weight in my line? Or will a 9wt floater be fine on my 9 wt rod? With the intermediate i use i'm a weight higher and it feels nice. Not sure on the feel of the floating line though. Is it about the same?
