The practice of fishing in lakes or reservoirs requires the use of different types of lines, floating, intermediate or extra sinking. Over the years, I have come across many fishermen who were facing the same problem: that of casting effectiveness between floating and sinking line...
First of all; a little technical reminder is necessary: Each line corresponds to a weight that determines its number. The only downside is that this weight is calculated over 30 feet (just over 9 meters). For example, a 7 line must weigh 12g, a 8 line must weigh 13.5g. Yes! only 1.5g differentiates them. When we design a rod, we use as reference a tolerance range, which in the case of the 7 line example varies between 11.5g and 12.5g.
What about the practice? How many fishermen stop at 9 meters before shooting? 1 out of 10? We often hear: "my rod is sinking with a sinking line". The new line profiles such as Forty Plus from Airflo or XS tra from Snowbee exacerbate the problem... Indeed, many of us shoot after having thrown out 12 or 15 meters... often more than 15g with a 7 line rod which in fact corresponds to the weight of a 9... Using a 9 line rod? No, impossible you wouldn't be able to get the first meters of line out...
So a major innovation is 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 able to cast cleanly at great distances and the other to shoot heavy lines with a larger tolerance range. With your two Marryat Tactical "Bombarde" you cover all situations.
