If you wish to find the most powerful fly rod for long casts try this. Thread the rod with your fly line and leave 10 or 20 feet of slack line on the ground at your feet. Grab the end of your fly line and make a bow-and arrow cast, pulling the line back far enough to use all the power stored in the bent fly rod, release the line, and let her rip. With a ruler measure the distance, minus the length of the rod, the rod's power shot the line forward. This is the distance the power stored in that particular fly rod adds to your cast. Do the same with other fly rods until you find your most powerful, longest casting fly rod! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
