One thing I've learned about casting 12' leaders is, it's more
difficult to cast short distances. I've been practicing casting at
various distances between 25' - 60' with the long leaders.
At shorter distances of 25' there's less line and therefore less
weight to carry the leader effectively for a good turnover of
the fly. This is where good tip-caster could do well.

You need a 12' rod. :-)
