Moin
lies dir mal durch was CTS zu den Gewichtsangaben an sich schreibt.
Ich zitiere mal von deren Homepage:
"A grain window defines the engineered grain carrying capability of a fly rod blank under line load. CTS calculates its grain window as the total load on the blank (head and leader combined).
The primary purpose of printing the grain window on double handed fly rods is to guide the caster in achieving a correct and balanced rod/line set up. Our double handed fly range development has been in close collaboration with RB Meiser Fly Rods in Southern Oregon, USA. The grain window concept originated in the RB Meiser shop, and has now become a generic term within the double handed community.
When selecting your CTS rod’s line weight, you will see a low and high grain window provided (e.g. #6-7 450-650 grains). Here is how to interpret the low and high of your grain window (credit to RB Meiser for the detailed explanation below):
Low end of the grain window
The low end of the grain window defines the minimal amount of grains that will allow the blank to load efficiently.
The low end of the grain window would most often be applied by those casters that will be sourcing power from the top 2/3 of the blank. Some casters may refer to this as ‘tip casting’ or casting off the tip of the rod
Casting off the tip of the rod is often applied by those casters that will wish to deliver light grained shooting heads utilizing minimal anchor at both the D and dangle release. This is typical of classic Scandinavian style touch-and-go technique. This delivery is best performed with a very economic compact stroke, minimal caster expended energy, and predominant power sourced from the lower hand.
High end of the grain window
The high end of the grain window defines the maximum amount of grains that the rod will allow the blank to load efficiently.
The high end of the grain window would most often be applied by those casters who will wish to distribute power and grain load in such a way as to utilise the full work capability of the entire blank; taking power well into the cork. Some casters may refer to this as ‘butt loading’ or deep loading the rod.
This is best demonstrated in two scenarios:
In situations of sustained anchor management typical of Skagit style shooting heads with extreme sink tips in tow. The grain total managed here would be the combination of head and tip weight. A Skagit shooting head of 600 grain with 200 grains of T-14 in tow would net 800 grains. This would meet the high end of the grain window. Overall anchor management and achieving constant tension of Skagits will best be accomplished with a compact economic stroke and minimal caster expended energy; utilising predominant power sourced from the lower hand.
In situations of full-belly length line management of actual aerialised grains beyond the rod tip of mid to long belly classic Spey line systems. This scenario is often best accomplished with a more open stroke and longer sweep to manage longer belly beyond the rod tip. For this: Relative even power is best sourced from a balanced combination of both the high and low hand."
Ich denke besser und genauer gibts es kaum ein anderer Hersteller an!
