Re: [VFB] Casting a big or heavy fly

[Wes Wada]

The other disadvantage to a big weighted fly, like a Clouser, is that an inexperienced caster will drive the fly right into their fly rod blank.  That impact is a leading cause of fly rod breakage.  It may not happen at the time when the fly goes "whack" against your pricey graphite, but later on you wonder why your blank shattered when you pulled on your leader.

Not so fun stuff.
