I have some theories about memecasters and line other than braid.
Feel free to call me a faggot and tell me I'm dumb.
1.) For practical, bass fishing casting distances, line size does not negatively effect the distance of your cast meaningfully. (Within reason of course I'm sure anything above ~20# will destroy your distance)
2.) Lighter line causes backlash easier. My theory is: since lighter line tends to have a lower memory than heavier line, the lighter line wants to "jump" off the spool more. Whereas heavier line wants to stay close to the spool, so it doesn't come off and loop as much.
This is moreso true when the line is new, but I've found it still be true even after the line has gotten a memory. I'm gonna test this out more bc all of this is from different reels, so it could be the way the reel acts.
3.) Rod and Reel make more of a difference in distance than line size. (Again within reason). I've come to this conclusion because if I take a 1/2 jig and throw it on my MH Blackout with the Revo STX and 20# power pro, it goes x distance.
If I take the same jig and put it on my Lews Mach II with 12lb copolymer it will go x+ 5 to 10 yards.
I believe this is because the Blackout has an extremely fast action, so the rod doesn't load up as much. The Lews has a little slower action, so it loads up the lure better and will outcast the Blackout.
Oh and that lews will absolutely launch a 1/2oz lipless crank. Shits cray.
