I have Drennan Float fish line on my float reels which floats well, and when using a waggler can be sunk either with a few quick turns of the reel handle or by striking; with the rod tip beneath the surface with both methods.
When made to sink it doesn’t sink too far either, like lines like Maxima sometimes do.
I also keep a small plastic squirty bottle of dilute washing up liquid in my tacklebox which I can squirt onto my reel line if necessary or use with a small piece of foam fixed to my front rodrest; so that whenever I need to make my line sink a little easier I can wind in while my rod is still in the front rod rest.
But I only use washing up liquid as a last resort as I’m paranoid that it might taint my hands and get on my bait.
