I don´t know what this "9´" means.

Did you see the diagram?


On a good day, with a special line, and a certain rod, I can roll cast 120
feet. I just don´t see where "nine feet" comes into it. It is intriuging
me. If I have (say) 12 feet of line in my ( slowly!) moving D loop, and
( in the case of a 50 foot cast), a further 38 feet of line on the water,
where does "nine feet" of anything come into it?

120' rollcast with a single handed rod??? Now that I would like to see or
even explained. Ok Mike, got you right where I want you.

Um...you might want to reread and think about my (esp. those casting
v. fishing and, ahem, useless lines...hint, hint) and Mike's replies in
this thread, and if you don't anything about tournament casting, learn a
bit about it, before you declare who has who where.

As I've never personally witnessed Mike do what he said, I won't state
that _I know_ that he can do it, but I'd bet, under the conditions he
outlined, the odds are much greater that he can easily do it, and IAC, I
will state that it can be done.
