I had the same problem with 2 different cortland lines, one a #4 type 2 sink tip, and the other a Clear Camo #4 intermediate line. I tried both washing them with dish detergent, using Xink on them (recommended by cortland when I contacted them by email). Washing them really did nothing, and Xink sunk the lines but applying Xink was a mess and a bother, not to mention expensive. Then, the best way I found was to just to use it, without messing with it. as they will sink better over time with use. I also found that after 10 or 12 casts on any trip they start to sink better, so just live with it, and wait in the beginning. My Clear Camo and the sink tip now sinks like they should.
