Saw the phone # for the spinline but can't find any readable info on the distance you can expect from it or it's price.
So I ask..... and please don't belittle me you will not find me sneeking in behind you on your local FFO section telling you I'm perfectly in line with all regulations as I hop around dodging the rocks you are heaving my way.
But anyway does anyone else do this in extreme conditions. The situation I have is I fish a large stocked pond in late May and by this point the trout are tired of worms, powerbait minnows etc. and it has an amazing caddis hatch (so amazing to me anyway fish come clear out of the water for the hatch.) I really would like to find a way to get a #10 or #12 Caddis out there and sit on top to see if I can get a take. I need to be able to cast it max distance that you nomally get from a spin rod ( 80ft I'm guessing????) and a conventional fly rod obviously will not cut it nor is there enough room to cast it with the overhanging trees.
Any ideas I tried a bobber and fly but the bobber tangles the line at that distance and with the 3' between bobber and hook. Could I some how attach fly line to 4lb. test with a bobber above the fly line to avoid tangles???
