Sound of windknots when casting

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ben Yeo:
I have the very same rod.
Had to shorten my mono leader to where the PR knot lies just outside the bail arm to reduce the "slapping" of the knot on the rod.
Now that I use pull-on leaders, the problem seem to have disappeared.

Mark Harris:
K-Guides are just noisier due to the way the line passes through them... different to a more traditional guide.

Noise are caused by line hitting the guides , hence reduced casting distance as energy wasted .

CliffKhoo:
Thank you for all your inputs. It seems I can try a shorter leader and making a shorter pr knot

Michael Mancini:
How long is your leader at the moment?

I hate knots passing inn the guides. Scares me all the time.
