Fly Lines - Expensive Fancy Tapers?

[Traditionalist]

the cast you make to cast 35' has enough energy to go 70'..if you let it, its what a WF line is designed to do, put another way if you aerialse 35' of a WF it will shoot to 70, rather than being a physical impossibility, its actually just what its meant to do.

and shooting casting line never could obviously, but any line will shoot given enough weight pulling it, even a dt.

A WF line is merely a shooting head with integrated running line. You need a lot more power to shoot a head 70 feet than to  aerialise 35 feet of it. Or to cast 35 feet with it.

Most lines will shoot to some extent. Light backing line shoots the best because it weighs the least and causes less drag.

You are confusing something or other, but I don't know what. This is also wandering way off topic.

Please note I have created a new topic called spey casting dynamics and moved posts I believed to be more relevant to that topic there.
