You are absolutely correct, the 8weight Asquith combined with Tim Arsenault's 'Wintertide" and 15' Rio replacement tips is the best that the Spey industry has produced. It is my favorite combination for chasing steelhead.

I was casting an OPST tip on my Wintertides for a while and liked them a lot, but when I switched to a 15' 7 wt Rio replacement tip (95 grains), the line really came alive and began to resemble its dry line sibling, the Tributary. I believe this is because the Rio replacement tip has a taper to it, which basically does just what it says: it replaces the ~15' and ~100 grains that are removed from a Tributary to create a Wintertide. I also found the length of the tip and its smaller diameter in comparison to the OPST tips or T material gets my fly down better and swings slower.

What do you put on the end of your replacement tip?

I love this line. It makes it really easy to create a tight loop and is fairly forgiving with a light sink tip and fly. I have found I can get a pretty heavy sink tip on it (t-14) but as soon as I put a fluffy fly on it there I can't get it to turn over. Lightly weighted flies are okay though. Great video.

There are so many choices for replacement tips. Did you get all 5 choices in 94 grains 7wt 10 ft and 15 ft? Did you stop using the T-series sink tips for the Wintertide? Do you use the 7wt replacement tips on all your Wintertides? How about the 8wt Wintertide for the 8 wt rod? Thanks

I think t8 would be fine. I'd stick to the lighter weights in any length you need for fishing. I think @fishingbcwithcj offers sound advice and he probably has more experience with different weights than I do.

@@kitesurfer314 You can still use T-Tips in the 96-110gr range, but it excels with the 10ft/15ft tapered tips because of the finer taper it has at the front end. It isn't meant to huck 12.5ft of T-14 and a 4in intruder
