Negnon Omega Orionis Sink 2 Fly Line

Negnon Omega Orionis Sink 2 is a sinking WF fly line for fishing below the surface while maintaining clear contact with the fly throughout the retrieve. Sink 2 denotes a nominal sinking rate of approximately 2 inches per second (2 ips), equivalent to approximately 5.1 cm per second. This measured sinking character suits nymph, streamer and other wet-fly presentations in which the angler needs to feel line tension and recognise changes in the way the fly is moving.

The head has been designed to limit excessive overhang during both casting and fishing. This makes the working section easier to manage without carrying an unnecessarily long part of the head beyond the rod tip. The result is a composed handling character: the angler can concentrate on the timing of the cast, then move smoothly into the retrieve and establish contact once the fly line has landed.

Profile and fishing use

The WF configuration places the casting section in the head, followed by the thinner running line. On the Omega Orionis Sink 2, that familiar layout is combined with a sinking profile and a head intended to keep excessive overhang under control. The family runs from WF4S2 to WF10S2, allowing the line weight to be matched to the chosen outfit and style of fishing while retaining the same underlying purpose across the range.

The nominal Sink 2 class provides a useful reference when planning a subsurface presentation. As a streamer or nymph is retrieved, the sinking fly line helps create a more direct connection to the fly than a line intended solely for surface presentation. Its low-stretch core supports clear transmission of changes in tension, assisting with adjustments to retrieve speed and with monitoring how the fly is behaving below the surface.

The core is braided and engineered for low stretch. Around it is a smooth Hi-Silk coating with a silky, low-friction finish. In practical terms, the coating helps the fly line travel readily through the rod rings as the cast develops and the running line is released or recovered. Together, these elements support the intended handling character: smooth line management during casting and a responsive connection once the retrieve begins.

Total length is 30 m. A factory-fitted loop provides a convenient connection to a leader or another compatible looped component. Printed identification on the fly line makes its weight and type easier to recognise, which is particularly useful when storing lines or changing between several prepared reels and spools.
