looking for info opinions on this rod with regards to 42g 10/11 shooting heads.
Does it work with them? as it states 37g on the blank.
Cheers PF.

PF I wouldnt get to hung up on weights Your rod will work fine with your 10/11 heads and if its a bit heavy just slow down your casting. I have a 14ft 9/10 rod and it casts 10/11 heads and a 700gr skagit fine

MK is it the GTfour 14ft 9/10 you use 10/11 42g lines on.
Why do they rate the 15ft an 11 weight and stamp 37g on it when a 10/11 in every other rod is 42 or there abouts??
P.F

P.F No its the 14ft stinger I was referring to but you get my 'drift' that best just to play about with lines and see what suits. The weights on your rod might be the vision heads and a 37g may be a 10/11 ?

If you use 37g on it then you'll be working the tip and mid section, so it will feel "quick" and you can gaze at the sharp loops all day. As you increase the head weight and for thr same casting effort more of the rod begins to bend or "load". Where before you were using the tip to control the loop formation, your now forcing the rod to bend further down. This might still give good tip control but it doesn't feel as crisp, hence the "slowing the action" badge.
It's an interesting example MK gives, that 14' stinger casts from 36 to 43grams, at 36g you won't feel much and you won't feel much and really need to use underhand, and very good underhand at that. Take it to spry lines and a 65' head 50gram line will cast on a 12' to 16' rod,
It's back to f=ma, we want the force to be roughly constant, so increasing the mass means you need less acceleration. The only think you need to watch it overloading the tip of shooting taper rods.

Suddenly feel I need to apply Pythagoras Theorem and give careful consideration to the angle of the dangle co-inciding with the phases of the moon which in turn affects lunar and hence tidal movements. Feck it. Back to the spinning rod.
