Here are the variables that are in this experiment: Line Power: Equal both at 10 lbs Rod Lenght: Equal both the exact same 76 rods made by the same manufacturer with the same power rating Reels: Equal both lines were on the same sized Shimano Stradic Ci4 reel Lures: Equal both were 1/2 oz teardrop shaped weights so that wind-friction is minimized Casting Force As equal as possible without a $$$$ machine Line Diameter: Not equal but thats ok because it is part of the reason why braid has an advantage Note: I did 5 casts with each line for the first round before switching the weights and doing 5 more casts to make sure that the weights used were not impacting the results

While the rod is on the shorter side, it is perfect to skip finesse baits into tight places from the kayak

Southeast September can be a little moody in the South

Dick grease works good On the sealed reels like the Fuego and BGMQ

I then put the off cut through (routed edge on fence) and shave off the extra width (about 1mm), this way you finish up with both sides exactly the same width and saves fiddling around trying to cut dead centre.Put these two sticks together and cut with a drop saw, hand saw, or hack saw - dock off to slightly longer than your required length, which for me is a bit longer than the finished lure (80mm)

This allows the spool to start rotating faster with less effort, resulting in increased casting distance and control, especially with finesse presentations like weightless worms, jerkbaits, or small topwaters
