belly/head, it's the same thing mate. :)

and to be complete, a WF line has from front to back:
- a level tip
- a belly/head
- running line

cheers,
marc

Belly and head are not the same Marc.
Belly is the level part of a head, along with front and rear tapers they make up the head, I'd include the tip in the head. Add running line and you have a WF. At least that's the simple version.

(That diagram of the Outbound shows a 6'9" belly. In reality, try measuring it and the belly is about 18ft. The diagram has 3 belly sections, is probably exactly right, and of course it looks more sophisticated...which is good for marketing.)

Is it always with the same radius (level) if BELLY is without front and back rear taper?

Hi
The MED description says
Front taper-Front belly-Rear belly-Rear taper- ( which makes it more long head line then long belly line).
when we talk about it we say that MED has 70' long head, we dont talk about belly.
And I think all little parts b4 running line that is Head of the fly line, and the belly is the thickes part.
Belly can be taperd as per outband, or can be move to the back of the head as per Rio LT, which helps to load rod early in casts requiring D- loop.
cheers

probably best we exclude this silly 'belly' term. i for sure never use it.
besides, the idea of three bellies doesn't help in my aging process...  :D

cheers,
