Cortland Fly
how do you load shooting line in your fly reel directly to backing or to your existing fly line?
i also want to make shooting heads from Cortland CL 13 (lead core) how do you now what size you need? the weight is 13 grains per foot i think. thanks for helping. and how you connect this to to your line and to leader?
Shooting heads are attached to shooting line. The most popular method is to attach 100 yards+/- of "Amnesia" 30# to the dacron backing and attach the head to this supple mono filament. I have better results using "Sufix Elite" for shooting line. It tangles less than Amnesia. Other fellows like to use a cheap level fly line for shooting line. I recommend adding loops to the ends of home made heads to make it easier to switch them for different situations.
Most fly fishers have difficulty casting CL 13. Most guys say "chuck and duck".
I carry 2, 3, and 4 foot pieces of CL13 with loops to add weight if wanted.
Size the shooting head weight to your rod's weight rating. It is usually safe to go one or two line weights over the rod rating. These suggestions are starting points. Cast your rod to see what is comfortable for you.
170 grains for a 5 weight rod
200 grains for a 6 weight rod
250 grains for a 7 weight rod
300 grains for a 8 weight rod
Dan's website has instructions some where for adding loops.
