The practice of lake or reservoir fishing requires the use of different types of lines, floating, intermediate or extra sinking. Over the years, I have met many fishermen who faced the same problem: the efficiency of the casting between the floating line and the sinking line...
First and foremost; a quick technical reminder is in order: 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 should weigh 12g, an 8 line should weigh 13.5g. Yes! Only 1.5g separates them. When we design a rod, we use as a reference a tolerance range, which in the case of the example in 7 line oscillates between 11.5g and 12.5g.
What about the practical side? How many fishermen stop at 9 meters before shooting? 1 out of 10? We often hear: "my rod bends with a sinking line". The new line profiles of the Forty Plus type at Airflo or even XS tra at Snowbee exacerbate the problem ... Indeed, many of us shoot after having taken out 12 or 15 meters ... often more than 15g with a rod for 7 line which actually corresponds to the weight of a 9 ... Use a rod for 9 line? No, impossible you wouldn't be able to get out the first meters of line...
Therefore, a major innovation is presented here: The "same rod" but in F version (from floating to S2) and in S version (from S3 to S7). One is able to set properly at long distance and the other to shoot heavy lines with a greater tolerance range. With your two Marryat Tactical "Bombarde" rods, you cover all situations.
