We hit them good on the Sacramento River.

Tracy,

I see many Nor Cal Striper types using a short butt section or no butt section on really fast sinking lines with a level 4 to 6 foot tippet section.

The Sacramento River and the Delta are not usually as clear as the Lower American River can be. Andy Guibord uses a longer 9' Rio knotless tapered Striper leader there.

I said "sinktip" but really meant "sink-head" which is anything with a 25-30 foot extra fast sinking "head" integrated seamlessly with a running line. Anything that sinks very fast should work well. We are not casting very far.

Boat traffic was mild?

Specific lines:Rio Custom T-14 and S.A. Custom Tip Express. Both worked great and will get you as deep as you need to be "in our neck of the woods."
