Blame it on the rod manufacturers. They build rods for distance, their rods work right with long lengths of line. Problem is most guys cannot carry that much line in the air. The line guys don't want people saying their lines don't work so they started making the a half weight heavy. Rod manufactures respond with step one again and the circle repeats. A small percentage of casters can actually get the most out of a distance rod, yet that is what the masses want.
I am with Don on the Courtland fly lines 444 SL is an amazing distance line.
