Hi all,
Wonderful forum, been an avid reader of posts for quite some time, but after reading about the awesome casts at the CLA fair, I had to
join to ask some questions. I've been trying to work out the logistics in my head for days. I'd only occasionally use a double hander, maybe once or twice a year and these would be overhead/roll casts so I wouldn't be over familiar with spey techniques.
Anyway, on to my questions,
Is the line the competitors use a special line, shooting head or something similar and what type of backing would they use ?
How much line do they shoot, ie do they have 20 yards outside the tip and shoot
30 ?
And finally, from what I read, the spey cast seems to get further distance than the standard overhead - Is this correct ?
Apologies, if the questions appear stupid but they have my head melted for days.
Best wishes,
Beaconbeige.
