Good point, I should have said "behaves differently". I just didn't think it through when I picked roll cast as an example. 90% of my fishing is on a large river, and shooting line is a regular deal if you want to reach many spots, so I automatically think in those terms.
Larry, I agree with you...I've never cast a line on anything but water or grass...gravel is out of the question entirely...and grass never gives me the same feel. Picking up a line off the water feels totally different. I guess I am lucky in that I have a small river just 5 minutes away with some practice smallies to play with.![]()
