All i was saying is to me its.not fly fishing if you cant cast the fly 3/8 oz is very heavy as a fly you may be able to drag behind and water loaded the rod from the back.cast position but dont see a way to pick up a fly nearly that heavy i just put a clouser with magnum eyes on my po scale and it was 4.5 grams so 3/16 of an oz i had tied those back when chasing footballs with a 16wt and i could throw those about 30 ft make sure when you try to.cast this.you wear a pair of shatterproof glasses and a hard hat the sleed that will be moving when traveling past your head will do some real damage
