In a current and where distance is needed, canal special. Standard pencils are easier to work along a beach or during a slack.

Rick what makes the flat faced any harder to work along a beach or at slack? 
I prefer the canal special since some of my pencils sink and the sloped flat face helps it get up top and walking faster. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Canal specials are weighted for casting distance and sink slowly, as you know. The flat bottom makes it easier to get a sinking plug on the surface. For me, it is much easier to work a pencil with lots of back to back motion, but little forward motion, with a standard pencil in areas where I don't have current helping me keep it on top. Not a huge deal, you can make both work in either situation, just what works best for me.
