Lines with long rear tapers, long bellies, and a average front are the best for casting long distances.

The rod is a Leland prototype and has yet to be available, soon though! It is a 5 weight with what I would best describe as an adaptive taper. The line is the Rio Gold Tournament Taper (5wt). The triangle taper is a good casting line the long taper accelerates the line as it gets thinner due to less wind resistance. The shorter back taper kicks all over the power into the belly quickly and give it the shooting head zip.

Thank you. I am using the TT and getting used to it and it seems to be, for me any way a great shooter. It gets a little sloppy in the wind, which is user error for sure. I appreciate you getting back. Which line were you using please and the rod to? I am throwing a Wulff TT 6/7 on a Ross FW-6. I’m curious to your rod flex, it looks perfect/

I am shooting about 8 ft- 10ft. I start typically with about 60 ft (just to get my bearings). I then work my way out to about 80ft. This is really only possible with lines that have a very long belly and back taper.

Quick question: How much line approximately, were you feeding in between your back strokes? It looked like like you were letting about 2 or 3 decent loops out. Thinking you started with 40′ and finished with like 70 before launching it? Just curious. Thanks for the tips.
