I built a 4wt Forecast rod last summer and its been sitting and waiting to be used. I finally got around to using it the other day, and it doesnt work! I cant cast more then 20 feet with it and I have to put so much leverage into it I almost throw my self in the water! It was an 8'6" 4wt and I can cast further with my 6' 2wt TFO rod! I think it may be the line thats making it so difficult. On my TFO I have SA GXP line, and on the 4wt I have a Cortland 333. I'm hoping its just the line and not the rod, I'd hate to waste a nice rod.
