If I recall, Carl tends to just use whatever lines came spooled on the random glass combos he gets off ebay, which occasionally includes sink tips of unknown weights).  A lot of people prefer sinking lines (or tips) slightly heavier than the stated rod weight, and others may not. 

Especially for sinking lines.  They don't seem to develop the kinks like floating lines and if the coating gets a bit worn and the line gets water-logged, what's it going to do? sink faster?

I like the idea of cutting back the sinking tip on some of these lines.  I will have to try that.
