Solid Octagon rods

[Paul Arden]

Well I don’t deny there might be some issues. But look a 2.22. I think the heavier tip is harder to work with. Go and stick a lump of blue tack on your rod tip!

I have Bill Hannemans feel fixers, blue tack is light stuff compared... and have had the fortune of talking rods with a dude that said adding a splitshot around the last ferrulle was a good way of making you feel more...

I'm also the one casting 13 weight lines on a 3 weight rod, think blue tack might be hard to detect.

But thanks for the suggestion

Cheers

Youtube has a feature that lets you watch in slowmo, the cast at 2.22 has a very nice uneven force application midway through, also the caster starts the forward cast well before the line has had a chance of unrolling behind. On top of that, the caster is throwing high backcast high forward cast , and tracking is off. A bit of weight in the tip is the least of the problems...

Wow perhaps Paul can come up with a Smart HT that tells you when to apply force and how much?
