Fuck
The #5 rod is not a #5
The 170 is not a 170
and now The 5wt line is not a 5wt

at this point I will try to get my best out of MED as till now is an official line for WC. When things change I will change. chucking 6' more with heavier line is not my goal.

cheers

...and for those who think that casting huge distance with the big tail wind is easy, I must say that with out fast,low, tight loop in the back cast, the tail wind wont help you to set a record. Loop looses its energy on the end of unroling, and becomes slower, if the wind blows in to the slow unrol...

Hi All There was a discussion before about air conditions on distancse casting/loop turnover. When I cast early in the mornimg(windless conditions),when the frost is still on the grass, it seems the loops drop earlier. When the sun start heating up, the frost melts and vaporates, warm air is going u...

One more thing. On the photo the bottom butt section is the first I bought, the top one is the rebuild one (they rebuild the second section too so they match). Notice that the bottom one has extra wrapping which feels thicker,when running fingers trough it. Do you think there is a big difference in ...

Ive been told that yhis is the same rod(performance wise), as the one they sell in series. Demo was on the shop equipment for custumer to try. I got it for 100$- good deal. The marks on the...
