Fishing on lakes or in reservoirs requires the use of different types of fly lines, floating, intermediate or extra-sinking. Over the years, I've met many anglers who faced the same problem: the casting efficiency between the floating line and the sinking line…
First of all; a short technical reminder is in order : Each line corresponds to a weight that determines its number. The only drawback is that this weight is calculated over 30 feet (a little over 9 meters). For example, a 7-weight line must weigh 12g, an 8-weight line must weigh 13,5g. Yes indeed! only 1.5g separates them. When we design a rod, we use as reference a tolerance range, which in the example of a 7-weight line oscillates between 11.5g and 12.5g.
What about in practice ? How many anglers stop at 9 meters before they shoot? 1 out of 10? You often hear: »my rod collapses with a sinking line ». New line profiles like Forty Plus from Airflo or XS tra from Snowbee multiply the problem… Indeed, many of us shoot after having taken out 12 or 15 meters… often meaning more than 15g with a rod for a 7-weight line which in fact corresponds to the weight of a 9… Use a rod for a 9-weight line? No, impossible you would not be able to get the first meters of line out…
This is therefore a major innovation being proposed here : The « same rod » but in F version (from floating to S2) as well as in S version (from S3 to S7). One is suited to lay down neatly at long distance and the other to shoot heavy lines with a wider tolerance range. With your two Marryat Tactical « Bombarde » you cover all situations.
