I know it might be a "generalization"...but the people that cant cast further than 20 feet with that "Wally " combo..are people that are just beginning to learn or never have learn the proper "stroke".
True, but I have taken that Wally World outfit in my hand to help that newbie and been sadly put off by it's action. It is the lines. they need stretching, treating and they aren't as supple. (I too am generalizing about the WW, but any cheap starter)
If I find it difficult, what about a newbie? Then how are they to learn right when they struggle.
And I would say the $62. line is a good line, and there are always great deals on e-bay (Selective Trout II for $35) but the fact remains, all the technology put into the new lines (including the SS) is not all hype.....some really do work.
