You have to learn to be a bit more patient flyfisher100. At 36ft. it sounds like you have bought a shooting head. This has to be attached to a running line - either one that has been made especially for the purpose or to heavy mono (about 30Lb. BS) In use you strip off a load of the running line, false cast the flyline until it is all outside the tip ring and then shoot the running line. You can cast very long distances using this technique. Read all about it here : globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/shootingheads/1st-7th.htmlDave. |

"ST", I believe, stands for "Single Taper". In other words, half a double tapered line. It would be used in the way Dave describes.
