9ft 1-4 oz lami.
I agree "load" the rod. I flyfish so loading is natural and required action.
the backcast should be stopped at 1-2 oclock [if restricted] and allow the weight/lure to keep going back to load the rod ...if you wait to long before the forward cast you lose the load, to quick and you get slack in the forward cast . try to feel the lure from slack front to back position, think about stopping abruptly at 2oclock back position ...imagine your trying to cast behind you on the back cast , dont allow the body to rotate into the back cast or your just starting without load and using body rotation to power the lure out...push your upper body behind the forward cast and stop at 10-11 oclock ....behold distance....ive used 30lb pp & 20lb fline with great results.
[as long as there is tension throughout the casting stroke it doesnt matter in generaL casting situations what 'oclock' you use]
