Re:An interesting flyline experiment 17 Years, 11 Months ago  
This makes perfect sense. If both lines weigh within the AFTMA standards for a 5 weight line, then the thinner of the lines will cast farther because it has more mass per inch of line. This means that the thinner silk lines will not be affected by air resistance as much as a fat plastic ones.

This is how the tournament casters were able to cast over 150 feet with bamboo rods 60-70 years ago.
