I do remember your test, and Tracy and I repeated it. She'd never previously cast a #5 MED on a rod marked #10, but that's the one that went furthest for her (she did bomb out with the #12 rod though). My distances went with the rod numbers but the #12 just felt like I got lucky with one cast.
Cheers, James
You didn't repeat it, you made your own version
I went for average, over 10 cast, and discarded the flop and the fluke... and measured carry for each.
And I did that twice...
And I didn't go by whatever was written on them, then it would have been three 5, a 10 and a 12...
And the control rod said 6 and beat all of them....
I haven't got a rod that has ERN 3,5 and is 9 feet, but I'm sure I have cast some guess my carry would be less than max with the control, but more than the broomstick
Cheers
Lasse
