Last week at a casting competition held by the Southern Sierra Fly Fishing Club, Guy Jeans owner of the local fly shop and guide service demonstrated a long cast with the rod at the end of the competition. It was a Snowbee 5wt with regular out of the box Snowbee WF5F flyline after it had been used on a lawn by 52 comperitors. He cast 9' of leader, 90' of flyline and about 6' of backing. He had about 75' to 80' of line in the air before shooting the rest.
