The Scientific Anglers TC Textured Tip is a specialized sinking fly line designed for precise control and depth when nymphing or streamer fishing. Here’s a breakdown of the key details from the listing:

Specs:
– Model: TC (Textured Tip)
– Sink Rate: Type 2/4 (intermediate to fast-sinking tip section)
– Length: 12 ft (sinking tip portion)
– Grains: 80 + 160 (likely refers to the weight of the head + tip or a dual-density system)
– Line Weight: Likely 6-8 wt (confirm based on grain weight)
– Texture: Textured coating for reduced friction and longer casts.
– Shipping: Free (as noted in the listing).

Purpose:
– Ideal for deep nymphing, streamer fishing, or situations requiring a controlled sink rate.
– The Type 2/4 sink rate means the tip sinks at 2–4 inches per second, helping flies reach depth quickly while maintaining sensitivity.

Considerations:
– Compatibility: Ensure the grain weight (80+160) matches your rod’s recommended line weight.

– Versatility: The textured design aids in mending and line pickup.
– Sink Rate: The 2/4 rating is a hybrid—faster than a full intermediate but slower than a Type 6.

If you’re targeting trout, steelhead, or bass in deep pools/fast currents, this line could be a great fit. Would you like help comparing it to other sinking lines?
