Re: Lots of overhang

Thanks for the input.
With a shooting head I never shoot line while fast casting. Maybe that is not the way to go. I suppose in my delivery I will pull the head down because of the greater counterflex.

Cheers, Bart

Re: Lots of overhang

I need to correct myself. I just watched the conversation back and he said “almost a rod length of line sometimes”.
I still won’t be able to make that work.

Re: Lots of overhang

Thanks Lasse,
I can’t see it very well.
Is this the overhang?

Lots of overhang

Bernt mentioned, in his conversation with Paul, he shoots a lot of line (around 5m) in the backcast with the Sea Trout Distance.
This means you end up with a lot of overhang. Did anyone experiment with this?
How is it possible to handle so much overhang on the delivery?

Cheers,Bart

Most visible color wool for trout accuracy

I am going to put on some new wool for the next BFCC trout accuracy comp this weekend.

What color do you think is best visible?

Are you expecting that to be easier than national competitions?

Hi Alan,

I think you only have to pay either £15 for a day or £20 for a year.

Re: light Line Switch Rods

Hi Bass, I find the term switch rod a bit strange. They say it’s because you can switch between double and single handed casting. The switch rods I tried, I would never cast single handed. Other than that, I think light double handed rods seem to have become increasingly popular. There seem to be ar...

Re: WC - overall

For me it would have more value if there is good fishing around. Get a couple of locals involved so we can also have a splendid fishing time. I went to my first WC in Norway, because I could make it a fishing trip with my dad. Personally I am never going to spend a lot of money to only get to a comp...
