Hi mate, Place the rod on the ground in front of you, walk around to the other side and see where it points. Can you elaborate that a bit more for me. I seem to be having a mental block where I can't follow it :D Do you mean make a forward cast, let it drop to the ground, place rod down where fwd s...

Are there any restrictions on diameters etc. What do you use Lasse, James, Bart (not Paul cos he's hasn't made his mind up :D ) Would a...
