I was out on the river today and had a problem with my cast that I haven't had before...... I'm looking for help.
I was fishing a T+T 1309 and I had it lined with a SciAnglers short head spey 8/9. Floating line all day. I should add that this is the first time I've put this line on it and I have never cast a SciAnglers line before.
Most of my fishing was in 60-65' of range and I really liked the way the line was loading the rod. Then I hit a wider stretch and started trying to trhow some running line behind it. That's when my problem began.
Once I started adding more than ~15' of running line the rear taper and the running line would crash to the water even though the loop was high and turning over nicely. The casts were very functional / fishable but looked horrible. What am I doing wrong ?
I've fished WC and Skagit heads and not had this problem. Any chance this is related to the line, or do I simply have a new hiccup in my cast that I have to fix.
