Wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't, the faster you control the line till it is flowing straight, within reason, the better a rod casts and fishes. It saves on weight in the tip also by a considerable amount as you must take the weight and multiply it by the distance from your hand to get the weight you feel. Check out the info at the Anglers Resource/ Fuji site to the upper left.
