I would like to add 15 to 20 feet if I could.
Sixty foot conformably excellent, as someone mentioned above you are B.E.H.I.
beyond external human influences lol,
Please describe your rod and line, might be time for a change,
As for myself, I really like and cast Mastery WF-9-F
distance on my Orvis Trident PM10+
and Cortland 333HT WF8F Bass on a Lamiglas F907
The eight weight is slower and a real slinger under low cover
65 foot casts are a breeze.
The nine weight Trident is my all around practice/fish stick, nice, fast and crisp,
seventy five foot casts I'd bet would feel as easy as your 60-footers did!
I'd lay money down on you if you had this rod,,, I feel like a bass pro salesmen :)
Are you throwing a sinker line?, my pet wands each have one weight lighter lines in Cortland 333HT WF7F/S Sink Tip & Cortland 444 WF8S Rocket taper
kinda like having two double barrow shotguns.
My orvis rod and the rocket taper casts well with a slight open loop to forty feet and aprox a four foot loop to sixty feet. Still makes a nice tight
good looking side or off kilter cast to go the distance.. Very appropriate name for this line..
Not sure if any of my lines are still available as these are many years old, and still in fair shape.
I keep the lines polished up with a good conditioner and cleaner as well..
Would love to test out a new sharkskin line one day, some day...
with one of those new sage bass rods..
This post may end up costing me...
Have fun!
Steve
PS;
I would not recommend as my friend UB above, closing one's eyes while tossing these, or as UB dose state all of a sudden you will understand! lol
