In the last article I admitted I was disappointed at my casting distance.I had been thinking to buy a larger rod and finally did.
I ordered a 12-13 weight 16 feet rod from Japan and received it.
But I am still waiting for the shooting line for this new rod.
I have tried the new rod with my 10 weight shooting lines and I can feel the power of the rod.
As we all know it is very difficult to fly cast against the wind no matter what kind of rod or line is used.
When this happens, I usually go to another place to avoid such situation.
Last Sunday I had no choice but to fly cast against the wind.Let me tell you how I did it and made it little better.
I rolled cast the line forward, false casted backward , then false casted forward to stretch out the line on the water, false casted backward again, finally shot the line.
In this way I could load the rod a lot to increase the line speed.
But don't expect far distance. It just makes casting possible into the head wind.
Also the fast sinking line is the only choice for casting into the strong head wind.
I usually use the type Ⅴ, 700 grain, SA shooting head.
The small diameter and heavy weight line can help cutting through the head wind.
