Not a good idea after all. I have now proved that you may draw what appears to be a straight line on a fly line but as soon as you pick it up you will never see it again. Round profile lines are constantly twisting slightly when moved. Bleeding obvious
Undaunted I then went on to prove more of the bleeding obvious. Pulled 12m of my new black and pale yellow line past the top ring and taped it so that it could not turn. Why?....... To see if I could if I could form twists in the line outside the rod tip which would actually stay in the line. Half an hour later of constant oval - round casting, no twists. Cut the tape and more casting. Eventually slight twisting of the loop at the reel.
Paul you are dead on, A few more casts to the reel got rid of it.
To really really prove the bleeding obvious I put serious twists in the line by hand. Very easy to do ,just rolling between my fingers. This is where my new TIGER CAMO line came into its own. Very nice looking all twisted up.
I'm talking serious twists here much worse than real life, whatever that is.
The good news 5 or 6 good hard casts to the reel got rid of all this. Like I said OBVIOUS.
FOR SALE; one slightly used unique ,specially designed, hand made, TIGER CAMO line.ideal for jungle fishing.
