Full sink depends on where you will be fishing.

I usually recommend the following line to all the people I teach;

IPS (Inches Per Second)

-Full Float
-Type I Sink (Intermediate or Slime Line 1.5-2 IPS)
-Type III Sink (Medium fast 3-4 IPS)
-Type VI Sink (Very Fast 6-7 IPS)

If you are going to be doing a bunch of Trolling, I would get the Type III, if you plan on doing alot of shoals and shallower water, get the Type I, if you plan on doing alot of the boyant patterns like a Gompus dragon or foam dragon I would get the Type VI.

I use a Type Type I and a Type VI more than any other line when fishing the lakes.

If you plan on doing alot of River fishing, I suggest you look at a Multi tip system like the RIO Versi Tip.
