Default Newbie questions -- after my 1st season of fishing

When the subject is fly fishing for bass in central Illinois
I am an expert. And I agree with me. ;-)

If you mean this;

itīs just a shooting head with integrated running line, a short front
taper, and a long back taper, which will admittedly help turnover to
some extent, but this depends largely on casting skill with a head
anyway, Turn over usually being accomplished by applying more power,
or using various tricks like "pull back" or feathering.


That's the fly line I'm talking about. It's far better for casting
in close to the canoe than any shooting head contraption and it's
far more accurate at a distance regardless of "tricks".
