Troubleshooting

Line tangling during the cast

Check your casting technique, and ensure you have enough room. Check the leader and tippet for twists or kinks.

Difficulty achieving distance

Ensure the fly line is matched to the rod and that your casting stroke is smooth and powerful. Check the line for damage or dirt.

Rod feels unbalanced with the reel

Try a different reel or adjust the reel position on the rod. Match the reel weight to the rod.
