Bought myself a St. Croix 7" 3wt for the small brookie's that live here today. Yes I had to lawn cast it. I't was like starting over almost,"snap" "snap" went the end of the line. Got it under control, and wasn't casting to bad with it, then went and got my 8'6 5wt St. Croix, and that dang thing felt like a telephone pole, lol. After casting both for a little time I found out the dif. in distance wasn't much between the 2 rods and my casting... Then of course JC's broom stick came to mind,(that dang thing haunts me) and I realized that I could use a lesson,don't get me wrong I could see the backing on the reel, but I think I should have been able to cast the 5wt alot further... And I would like some of you all's input, should I have been able too???
