If you get into Switch Rods and Line, you can just change the tips depending on what you need at the time. Tips are 10' long. Running line is 20' or so.
Tips run about $20 but you can find them on sale right now for $10.
I find this to be really time effective when on the water and cost effective compared to multiple spools and full sets of line.
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I despise casting a sink tip line. First you gotta get it up in the water column, then you get to try to cast it. I can do it, but I don't like it. Just one guy's opinion, and worth exactly what you paid for it.  Kirk Switch Rod was my answer. Lot less work. 2 hand it or single hand it. Just when I thought I had all the gear I needed a switch rod is mentioned. I looked at some video and and it looks like it would suit my type of fishing so I may add one to the arsenal Hard to find any good videos. It's so new. Fishing with these for bass is something not many people are doing....it's gaining popularity in the coast. Especially up NE for the stripers.

I use a 3 wt switch rod for trout in Broken Bow and other wider stretches of water. Definitely not needed, but casting 60+ ft with a single spey sure is fun!
