I've heard great things about the (in)famous Bob York's line recipe and have always wanted to try it. I got a chance to talk to him today, in depth, about the particulars. Line recipes seem to make alot more sense when told to you in person rather then read in a book.
Anyways, after getting past his report from the Rhonde-it consisted of something along the lines of like "I walked into the Turkey Shoot and because I am famous, everyone left the hole to watch me fish. And not a fish was caught behind me."
Bob sure is a character...arrogant?...maybe a little.
Anyways his line recipe consists of 17' of High Speed Hi-d shooting head of line size larger then the rod you are going to fish. This is spliced into 17 ft of a belly section of a floating line that is either one or two weights heavier then the rod you are fishing. This is then spliced into a .027 or .031 running line.
If you want to fish a shorter head, say a 12 foot head, you just extend the floating belly section by 5 ft.
Anyways the tip sections I fish now get me by but I am in search of something better.
Has anyone played around with Bob's system (which was published in Trey's book)? Has anyone played with a similar systyem? How did it fish? Any manipulations?
Im going to start crunching some numbers to see how the grains play out to decide if I want to go 1 or 2 lines sizes heavier on the sinking portion and 1, 2 or even 3 lines sizes heavier on the floating mid-section.
I'd love to give it a try because according to Bob, its the greatest line ever-"I can cast 200 ft with it!" LoL
