VS Casting Question
This year I bought a VS 250 and the 10' 2 pc MH Lami to go along with it - nice rig.
Anyway, I understand that with the handle in a certain position, the spool and roller are in the optimal position for casting. My problem is that this does not necessarily put the swivel in the same position. I like to use a 5-6ft leader, and with a 10' rod, that doesn't leave me much margin for error regarding the length of line from the tip top to the swivel (especially in some spots). The reel wraps about 36 inches per turn, so at first I figured that if I tied the swivel so that it was about a foot from the tip, I'd be fine. The problem is the tension on the retrieve creates a lot of variability. In other words, one retrieve may put the swivel at 8" from the tip, and the next one might either put it inside the tip on 34" away with the spool in the correct position.
Unless someone here has figured this out, I think my only option is to shorten my leaders so I can deal with the the variability, which I would rather not do, especially in the stones.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
