1/4 will be the on the light end of the spectrum, most likely I will be using 1/2oz with this set-up, just wanted to see what I could do with the lighter weight. In all honesty it doesn't feel like the weight is the problem I think practice will enable me to get this righ 50-60 feet consistently. I have thrown a couple those distances when it feels like I hit it just right.

I think I will give it another go with the spool tension backed off, then play with the plastic brakes, maybe I just need to get my thumb more spool time.

I remember practicing flylining anchovies, I practiced flipping with a clothes pin, I got fairly decent. When I actually put a anchovey on my 20 lb outfit it felt like it weighed three times what a clothes pin did, I was really getting it out there.
