Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} OPST Commando Heads

Learning line management for mono running lines takes some practice.

Also Reagen will hopefully chime in at some point.

I have a 5wt commando head and can easily roll cast 60 feet. The issue is with stripping in the running line. I thought the head would be great for roll casting from shore for shad. Line launched extremely far but the retrieve was tedious.

Has anyone fished with these lines before? I happened upon demo videos on YouTube last year, and was really intrigued by the ability to get distance with single handed roll/spey casts. I am toying with rigging a 6 wt single handed rod and targeting bass, snakehead, maybe even northeast Ohio steelhead. 

From what I've read, people say they cast well but are no good mending. Also unclear if you can switch between casting styles. Would love any thoughts.
