The right tool for the right Job..

why would you ever want a short belly for a floating line???

Why would you want a long belly for throwing tips???

Winter time is down and dirty time any joy taken in the cast is lost with a sink tip. Winter is fishing season not casting season so a short belly is ideal..

In the summer the pace of the day is more relaxed and more joy is taken in the grace of the cast. long well controlled casts are the order of the day so a long belly or even a double taper are ideal..
