These fast sinking, level tips have a tungsten compound coating, are supple, do not kink and sink like a rock. Built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore, they are extremely sensitive to soft grabs and ensure fast, solid hook sets. This is a favorite head of LCO for surf fishing. 

There are 5 different weights of "T" tip available; T-8, T-11, T-14, T-17 and T-20, and each size is either available in a 30 ft pack with welded loops on both ends (T-20 doesn't have any welded loops)
The head weights are color-coded for easy identification. T-8 is dark red, T-11 dark green, T-14 dark blue, T-17 dark gray and T-20 is black. The tip size indicates the weight per foot, so for example "T-8" weighs 8 grains per foot, and "T-14" weighs 14 grains per foot.
The sink rate of each tip is as follows, with their relevant breaking strength in parenthesis):
T-8 = 6-7 ips   (20lb) 7wt Head 240 Grains
T-11 = 7-8 ips   (20lb) 8wt Head 330 Grains 
T-14 = 8-9 ips   (30lb) 9wt Head 420 Grains
T-17 = 9-10 ips   (30lb) 10wt Head 510 Grains
T-20 = 10+ ips   (30lb) 12wt 600 Grains

Complete privilege

Had a great time aways watched these guys talk about tungsten casting in the wind. And finally had a chance to get over to LCO And who's there Steve Adachi the legend himself to give me his set up recommendation. Plus his hand tied flies. Loved it.

Into the depths!

Between the surf and swinging on rivers, the level T is used extensively and gets my flies down to the strike zone.
