Rod B, the stiff, fast rod threw an SA 12 wt tarpon (full) line 96 feet.
Rod A, the wimpy, moderate action rod threw the SA 12 wt Tarpon line 94 feet.
Previously, throwing an 11 wt floater shooting head:
Rod B 76 feet shooting line - 106 ft total line
Rod A 74 feet shooting line - 104 feet line
The rod in the video is rod A!
Clearly, the CCS has little to no intrinsic value at predicting ANY of this with SW rods and casting. A different system which would predict real life performance, using meaningful and intuitive parameters, would be of real value.
