In competition or in practice?
Sven Kalmar was said to have thrown the XXD 5 42 meters indoors at a demo...

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

137’. Huge cast! Mind you the XXD is 105’. MED is 120’. So I would expect a few more feet are possible. There may be a little more with the MED too, especially over a slippery floor, or at altitude! But I think that the physical constraints of the line will at some point mean that we hit a wall. I think that wall is around 135 at sea level and on a pool, flat on the floor! I look forward to being shown wrong of course
Cheers, Paul

Yes huge cast!
My xxd's where 120 too... the orange versions, appart from the 140 feet one Bruce send me just to mess with my head I think
And I'd rather throw the 105 version for distance than the 120 one.. first ones go further
Cheers

Hi Mike
Less fat runningline to drag out, more thin shootingline. Needs a smooth connection though
Cheers
