Default Roll Casting?

@news.supernews.com:

What is the best set up for roll casting?

A Fast Rod or Slow?
Graphite, bamboo or fiberglass?
Your long, longer or longest rod?

Weight Forward or Level line?
Would you do better to move up or down a line weight?

And.....more important
Single Malt or Brandy in the flask?
Brunette or Red Head?



I've never thought about all those parameters. I roll cast on
everything from my 2wt 6 foot rod through my 9'6" 10wt. I will say the
key for me is when I am preparing to cast, I wait for the line to fall
on the water until the loop is beside or almost behind me.

Regarding libation, any of the above.

Yeah, but then again you could cast with a broomstick
if you had to.

Why that's a kind thing to say, Greg. Thank you. Not as good as your
brother though.
