I have been working with Carron lines for a couple of months now and have come to couple conclusions and as most people who know me will attest that I am not one for snap discussions.
One these lines are as good as advertised.
Two I have a never cast a line with such little memory.
Here are afew more rods that I have worked on with the lines.
Carron 11/12
CND Thompson Specialist 16’7 likes the 11/12 (weight is 840 grains).
I have been casting this line on this combination for a couple of week.
This past week I had several of the Northwest Primer Speycasters work with the combination and the opinions were the same they liked.
Thomas and Thomas 15ft for 10 wt 5 piece.
Worked with both the 10/11 and 11/12 and the rod seemed to do well with both I prefer the 10/11 but would opt for the 11/12 if I had some nasty wind conditions or had some really heavy tips or flies.
Carron 10/11
Bruce and Walker Norway 15’ 9/11 test showed how good of rod this it will simply cast as much line as you can handle.
Redington New Designed 15’ for 10/11 and the 14 for 9/10 both rods were tested my numerous casters and the result was the same: line and rods functioned as one unit.
Thomas and Thomas
14 ft 9 Three piece cast the line extremely well without bogging down the crisp fast feel of the action.
