Hello all,
Just built a 4wt and put a 4wt double taper on it. casts very nice at 10'-35' but seems to run out of steam after that. I'm used to fishing 6-8wts and this is my first time with a rod this light and with a DT line. I'm trying not to overpower it, and I think I'm not. My question is are the lighter rods more useful for shorter distances and accuracy, or can you throw out 50' if needed? I don't need it but I built the rod so I'm trying to make sure everything is right with it..I can throw long casts on the upper weights but, It really not to practical where I fish..I could have the line wrong on this build or it could be what it is..maybe I gotta get over this distance thing..when judging a rod, especially when I'm going to use it for smaller water.
