Thanks Mike!

Old worn piece of a GT140 wf 8 rod echo3 9'6 8weight and shootingline is a berkley solar 0,40mm trollingline from the 90's

Nice cast Lasse, great percentage of line and leader turnover.

Thanks John, it did land quite nicely

Thank you Lasse,
bloody 56m awesome.
0.40mm- do you think if you had 0.35 this distance would not happen?
...and ( Im using 0.37mm) do you think you handle more overhang with 0.40 than with 0.35.
We could hear there was some nice breeze you had there, so maybe thinking of a rare taper in the SH, maybe thicker shooting line might be the answer.
a) thicker- better for hauling
b) thicker- more stable loop with overhang
c) thicker mono= no modification to the head ad per rules
d) thicker= 1 conection to head and no loops in guides
e) thicker mono- do uou think ,would be there much disadvatage in regards to shooting( bigger friction on the guides) with thicker mono I mean 0.35 vs 0.40??
P.s
There is 1 post here( somewhere) that Dimitri was saying that adjusting thicknes of the running line is as important as choosing the SH.

Looks like a trip to a tackle shop again

... but now in which conditions thicker mono would be better.
I thought I will avoid this questions after Cumbria when I went with 0.37, but looks like it never stops ha ha

Hi Mike

I'm the wrong guy to ask

I don't think I would throw shorter with 0,05mm thinner shootingline, I also doubt I would throw further, but will probably never know for sure

Overhangs the same, check my clip out on vimeo about overhang, you just want the right amount, and thats less than what can be "handled"

Yes, there was a nice breeze, its very clear when it blows straight into the micro phone, not as much or as straight as Cumbria, but I'm not complaining

Thing is, its almost exactly the same outfit I threw 42 in no wind with at the world championships in Fagernes in 2012


And it's the same outfit I've thrown to 61+ during practice, when I was sharp years ago...

Then again, its a mental game, so yes, you should definetly think about changing everything
The tackle shop needs you!

Funny, how we- I are chasing magical cure to longer distance. I think it is about hitting the delivery cast at right moment, with a right amount of tennsion in the loop.
I think I skip the trip to the shop.
Your answer clears a lot.
