These lines are available in two different models: a short (SHORT CUT) and
a long head (DISTANCE). They are exactly the same weight for the same line
rating – only the length is different.
For instance, if you fish an LPXe 13' 8/9, you can choose either a SHORT CUT
or a DISTANCE 8/9-weight line for your rod. The purpose of our system is to
help you fish as efficiently as possible in a variety of conditions. A DISTANCE
head works better in certain situations and a SHORT CUT in others.
A short head that's easy to lift out of the water. It's a great length when fishing
in restricted situations such as with high banks or overhanging trees behind,
and when wading deep. The SHORT CUT model is also the preferred choice
for anglers fishing shorter rods or for those new to double-handed fishing.
