I think slower is better when you are casting just the leader. I have a
7' fiberglass rod that works well in these situations, but when I'm heading
to a really brushy area I take a bamboo rod because it just works best.

This one is pretty slow. It's just the tip section of a busted rod I found
in an abandoned house up in the UP about fifteen years ago. I cemented the
female ferrule into the grip and voila!
