Well, SA did have that 7% more distance with sharkskin than their other lines, which didn't really hold true... Agree on the straightness of Bruce's arrows though!

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685
Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts

"50% less friction" I was told to be expected via direct email with the designers though.
SA always had measurements for friction and Bruce indeed always was straight with his information!
I'll give it a go and try.

The first cast is always the best cast.

I have a snowbee thistledown floating line described as a 2-5wt. Touches down quietly but is very poor floater. Barely floats is a good description. Mine is mono core. I beIieve a new braided core version is available which might float better...might

So it's a single weight line covering four line weights.Snowbee wrote:This is a single weight line suitable for applications across the range from #2 to #5wt.

Outside 
From the link I posted, the thickness of the head should be 0.65mm, thats almost half as thivk as the thickest part of a MED 5 weight... I take these thistledown linea are either meant for TLT casting or someone measured wrong...

I think it's been established as BS. Straightforward lies.

Has fashion moved from wonder rods to wonder lines ? (must confess to quiet liking the Snowbee on a 4 or a 5 its good for short to medium range stuff. Not a line for long drifts)
