World championships in fly casting

[JC125]

Paul : but if you twist the sections this will increase line friction between rod rings and blank and also produce wear ring , or am I wrong?

[Lasse Karlsson]

Hi James

Paul's rod is set up with Fuji torzite rings, the line is of the blank, and Wear to the rings is not an issue, they will outlast all his flylines

Cheers
Lasse

I don't think Spine is an issue with modern rods, Dmitri. If it was then we'd place the rings at different angles to facilitate this on my rod!

I agree Lasse, but I didn't know I was going to twist them around like this when we built the rod. Maybe for the RAMAGE I'll do this!

Cheers, Paul

RAMAGE

Is it going to be as soft as the competiton?

Cheers
Lasse

[Paul Arden]

You cast it and said it was too stiff

[Lasse Karlsson]

Ahh, so the RAMAGE is the 38'er, then yes that's too stiff for me your ten on the other hand makes a nice five

Cheers
Lasse

[Paul Arden]

Yes for me too. But doesn't roll cast very well! Incidentally it's "RAMPAGE"

[Lasse Karlsson]

Make up your mind, either it's RAMAGE or its rampage

And rollcasting is all in the mind!
