Yes, but it largely depends on your skill as a caster.the biggest advantage of a $500+ rod I imagine is you'll probably put less physical work in (false casting, hauling, shooting line) to get the same distance that's about it. I've never used a fly rod over $100 and I've caught lot's of nice fish... jus' sayin'...
Umm correct casting involves the wrist .... Been fly-fishing for 30 + years and own around a dozen flyrods between $20 and $500 All require correct casting technique ...
And from personal experience beware of the wind blowing across your casting shoulder. Unless you want to pull a fly out of the back of your hat or worse. Don't ask.
Lol,funny you mention that. When I first started learning,I got a fly stuck in my earlobe. My wife saw it and said,nice earring!
My question is, will a fly rod of higher quality cast further than one of lesser quality?I have a cheap sci. Angler rod,5/6 wt.9’, paired with matching weight,weight forward line, and can only seem to cast out to 25’or so.Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
Fishless, funny that you mentioned the four principals, I just watched his demonstration on YouTube last night before bed. The channel Hooked Up has a great series of videos with Lefty Kreh (RIP )
