I hope I can get Fredrik into casting the prototype as well (that will not be hard :z7). If anyone here can get the full potential out of a 5 wt line itīs him.
Best Regards
Stefan
Hi all!
Ok, back from a day in the hall. Max distance is just not possible in there, the ceeling is too low. But we did some carrying with your line Mike...
Magnus carried 29m (95.1 ft)
I carried 29.8m (97.8 ft)
And Fredrik carried 31.4m (103 ft)
All lengths measured from line end to hauling hand, leader excluded. These are personal records for all three of us. Fredrik did the 103ft two times, and the method we have for judging that a carry is under control is that the caster can complete three false cast cycles with it.
Best regards
Stefan
A softer actioned, fully compressed blank will cast further than a half compressed fast action rod.
Hi Rob!
Why do you think that? How about a fully compressed very stiff blank then?
As for your point about loading, its interesting that from a fly perspective, the theory/research is at a completely opposite end of the spectrum to what is talked about/practiced with a lead.
Hi Rob!
Is there any research going on on the lead side?
Rob,
The bouncing of the line on the back cast is intentional and does actually give more line speed.
What do you think Rob :? :wink
Hamish :z3
Hi Mike,
Save me a 6wt.
Iain
I'll collect as soon as I can
Mike
Stick a WF5 aside for me, Ill get it next time I'm out , If this weather ever improves. I can empathise with those old timers in the Yukon who would get cabin fever in the winter and shoot their mates :mad seems reasonable to me :z4
:z18

Right mike may I reserve a six wt . will try and get up and see you in the next few weeks or so. jim
Line arrived today Mike :z16 - don't know when I'll get it out as I've a 10 wt that needs cutting and a 2wt screaming for a cold weather outing.
Iain
will you be at the Gathering ?
The so called Kiruna gang in Sweden (Looong distance casters) seem to really like this line. "Best bang for the buck was one opinion".
Hi folks :cool:Hi Mike! I just want to congratulate You and other guys being involved with designing THE LINE, itīs just fantastic. I was facing with my certification to FFF CCI for about three weeks ago. I had several lines to choose, some of them costing 3 times more than Outcast. You will be tested for accuracy, You have to cast nice loops with short and long casts, rollcast as well, everything so You really need a versatile line and that is why I choosed Outcast, feeling great confidence with the line. And I managed it.
I've been receiving more and more great feedback for the Outcast lines this month, with a good number of folk achieving their personal best distance casts with the line ......... Ulrik Röijezon from Sweden being the latest, recording a cast of over 42 meters with an Outcast WF7F fly line :cool:
Simply awesome :shock
Best wishes
Mike
Oh Yeah? what does the S stand for?
Mike
I hope to have the new GT140S, the orange version of the GT140, in stock at some stage next week. This will also be available in WF3F to WF8F.
Best wishes
Mike
They have arrived ..... cool :z16
Can you keep me a 3wt & a 5wt please Mike, :wink :wink I will get them when I get home!! :z18
Thanks Alex
Hi Mike,
A quick question for you, do you think you will be producing the GT in a 9 or 10 weight? If the GT is proving itself as a good line for bigger/heavier flies I wonder if a 9 or 10 weight is the line the UK Pike Angler is looking for?
Cheers
Rob
Hi Rob
I have some new GT140S WF9F orange fly lines on order with the factory :z16
Cheers
Mike
