Lifting power of a fly rod
It probably means that dude wants a 11 weight line on that 10wt as it feels too stiff for him.... I can't give you an answer on this though, I have a feeling that it will be beefed up, more carbon or glasfiber, stiffer and such... I have a friend who's mad for GT 's, he won't go below a 12.... If yo...

IFFF Defintions Instructor Preparation
Hi Bernd You should ask the relevant committees instead, the preamble says it's for: All were written to provide a set of terms that IFFF certified casting instructors should use when discussing casting among themselves. When instructors use the core definitions to explain fly casting terms to stude...

One brands 10 might be stiffer than another brands 12 and even in the same brand there might be differences...

How to cast with a sub-optimal leader setup?
Dang, been in a similar competition once, heavy beadchain eye little fly and almost level thin leader :sick: Didn't do too well then :D Hovering is out, so you have to estimate distance from the end of the fly line, hopefully the flyline isn't camo :p Open up your loops and drift like your life depe...

Fly rod deflection
Hi Bernd Tobias claimed I was using a wrong (non representative) angle (line to rod) for that test. The results would be very differnt when positioning the rod more into the direction of the cast before letting the line go. He also claimed: "Up to now I'm still missing any physical law, which h...

Uplining for quicker loading.
Christ I'm surprised at that. I've never tried a DT12 but I would have imagined it difficult to carry to the knot. Heavier heads I agree, but there must be a cut off at some point, for the same reason we can throw a cricket ball further than a shot putt. I throw the MED8 140+ but I've never thrown ...

Seatrout on the Coast
Hardest part is finding the fish :D The sixth sense is an ok line, might want to check out the TSD lines from Tellis, he fishes the west coast alot, and prefer longer bellies. His main area is around Gothenburg. Look for structure, currents and dropoffs. Seatrout tend to move around, so cover water,...
