I guess I can throw in my two (common) cents on this. I for one applaud any system which simplifies and adds structure to variability within a set. Maybe to expert casters such as yourselves, stucture or simplicity is not needed but to many it would make life easier. Case in point, I owned a St. Cr...

What do you feel is the most common casting error?
Just curious, what the title asks for concerning the masses, for me personally it would be that I don't stop the forward stroke abruptly enough and tend to lower my rod tip too quickly with the resultant open loop at the end.

Mike, good stuff. BTW, this Berkley Vanish fluro fishing line is exactly what the guide was using, not a marketed true fluro leader material. Now I'm not sure if he was using it because of the relatively cheap cost as he is booked with clients throughout the season or he feels it is actually better...

Well, I sure didn't know anything about how long this stuff takes to break down. Really makes one think. Anyone have an idea how long it takes for more standard polymers to break down? Before I read these replies I went out and picked some up and I don't think cost is a problem when used as this fe...

Fluorocarbon mono used for leader
I just got done reading on an interesting website by a fellow who guides out of Canada for smallmouth bass, trout and steelhead and he likes to use a straight one piece 12-15 ft section of fluorocarbon mono 4-8 lb test for his leader. Anybody else use this type of straight one piece non-tapered lea...

Anything wrong with a Belgian cast?
Hey casting gurus, are there any disadvantages with what I think they call a Belgian(sp?) cast? What I mean is that the back cast is not perpendicular to the plane of the water but slightly off at an angle of say 1:00 if you were viewing the caster from his back and then you make a small loop or ro...

William, you know you're right, this lifetime thing is crazy when looking into the future that far. I mean if it were just let's say 5 years, and you paid $600 for the rod, then that's only $120 year for a whole lotta fun and you still have given the customer a warranty that will more than cover an...

Alright, if we want to talk about lines that let us down (again no reference to the Wulff TT sink tip ... err I mean floating line - no pun intended) or didn't live up to our expectations, then I have to throw the Cortland 444 Lazerlines into that trash heap. Distance line my a$$, maybe a longer be...
