This man gets it. I wasn't talking about casting fluoro as far as I could cast mono/braid. I'm talking about casting it as far as it can. In which I case I believe 50mm butt rings and wide spools have a bigger impact.

My spod rod that uses thin supple casting braid has a 40mm butt on, my fishing rods have 50mm on them if I'm fishing a water with a braid ban and use fluoro I wanna get it as far as I can. Anything further than that I'd reluctantly use mono


So does anyone else think 50mm butt rings do make an impact on distance when using a thicker fluoro?

Yes I would agree in that situation they would be better as the large spool and heavy flour is going to come off in large coils. Personally though I still wouldn't use it at range when it's going to sink onto the lake bed and get covered in silt and weed or whatever is down there.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
