I've read about tournament casting and Castwell's "the whole 90 feet" Having never seen a casting contest, I have a couple of questions: For example, in a 5 wt standard wt fwd line cast,how much line is carried in the air and how much is shot in a 90 foot cast?
In trying for distance with a 7' 4 wt, the best I can do is about 55 ft, and this is a sloppy looking cast!
In my part of the country 20 ft is usually enough for fishing but I'd like to know how the long casters do it.
