You have made me rewind my life about 35 years. Low tech cheap way? When I was a teenager and trout were deep in a lake and we were fishing from float tubes, I wrapped part of a wire clothes hanger around the tip of my fly line. Awful. Atrocious. Terrible. Presentation was explosive and casting was downright dangerous. But it sank and I caught fish.
-- That is low tech and cheap. I would also NOT recommend it.
I would miss a few coffees and buy a decent line for the shad run and the Bay. But if you are asking for Gravelly and really for most of the river outside of the shad season, I think you can get away with a floater.

Thanks Mike. Another question. Is there any low tech cheap way to make the line sink other than buying $100 300-380 sink line? I'm on a very strict budget. If presentation doesn't really matter, can I just crimp a big weight in the end or beginning of the leader?
