Took the Orvis Practicaster & paired it with an Orvis CFO II mounted with zip ties just for casting practice with a#3 weight out to about 40' since the "yarn flyline" cast nothing like the video. Caught a small crappie on fly. Also called about buying a Redington Form Game Rod flyline, but none available for sale without purchase of an outfit. Newer Orvis casting practice banty rod is shorter.
How'd you like fishing on it? Would you do it again? Or was it just a gimmick.
Was just casting to see how well an injured elbow had recovered with months of physical therapy to progress to bigger line weights as accuracy had been drastically reduced from a bone chip. Will probably walk across the street to try for bedding crappie this spring at sometime just for the fun of it. Get a strike from a big bucketmouth would be something else as it might top a 7 - 8 lber on a #5 with a grasshopper fly catch.
