I’ve wondered about this myself, so here is some Food for Thought
Those of us who were old enough could remember (before video games). As kids we would take piece of string and attached an empty tin can at each end. If the sound could travel over the taught string, wouldn’t it be the same with a tight fishing line pulling a swimmer.
Now add: the amplification made with the fiberglass or graphite pole, the better quality string, and that fact that sound travels farther in water.
If you take away the factor of casting into a blitz, does the constant squeak ruin the presentation of a good needlefish or swimmer?
