Well how weird is that - we both get the same result. We're both obviously wrong with our real world observations (my results showed the average untethered cast went further, and my longest single cast was untethered).Lasse Karlsson wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:09 pm
Done that a heap of times, since this topic seems to surface every few years on SL, the longest I have ever thrown and the straighest was the cut shootingline version so that would naturally be my answer here too
And yes, PITA for sure!

Another great test is the unbalanced head experiment. With a #7 I can aerialise a lot of line - probably up towards 100ft. With a #5 I can't do quite as much, but I can still manage a big carry. As such, if I make up a 70ft shooting head out of either a #7 or a #5 it's a piece of piss to aerialise it. However if I have 35ft of #7 at the front and 35ft of #5 at the back, I simply can't do it. I think I know the reason why, but when mentioned previously it's been swept aside.
