On the new website provided by JC the magazine has an article on distance casting.

The casters were set up in two groups based on how far they were able to cast....7 weight rod

The "Elite"group...average distance... 80 feet

The "Good" group...70.7 feet

These were world class casters.
My question....why were none of them able to cast the whole line?
Many folks brag about casting a whole fly line....are they blowing smoke?
