Physics kicks in here. Mass retains velocity longer, but you have to impart sufficient velocity to the mass in the first place.
I use solaris and Abu rods, both fixed and free spool. I get best results from balancing the weight with the way the power is applied to the outfit. Just work on it gradually and it will all fall into place.
I just dont have the patience for that and just sling it mostly!! Just get variab le results is all.
