I got my new TFO TiCr X (someone needs to tell me what that stands for) in today. After starting the casting thread, you guys gave me some great advice, and I was anxious to get my old reel on my new rod and see what would happen. I only had about 15 minutes to try it out.

The results are in;

I was able to cast 23 paces, which is going to be close to 20+ yards. That was a solid 5 yards further then I was able to do on my last rig. It was also easier to cast and much easier to retrieve. This was unexpected. Normally, after a good cast I had to strip a good bit of line back in so I could manage my next cast, so only having to make a couple strips after a much longer cast then I am used to making was a great suprise, but I've got no clue why?

I still have not updated my line, so I am using the line that came on my bass pro whiteriver combo I mentioned in the other post.

Overall, I am a very happy camper/fly fisherman.
