And how does changing the equipment rules at the WC-level help with that?

Those that won't competet because they aren't guaranteed a first place, won't compete ever. Those that wouldn't mind competing, but have to fork out a serious amount of money at gear they will never use otherwise, will just opt out of competing. I see them every time at the Danish championships, and at the Swedish fairs where there are competitions.
Seatrout fishing with shootingheads are done in a very small region of the world, and we live in the middle of it. What kind of gear do you see most used in Norway for it? Here in Denmark, southern Sweden and the German baltic coast it's 9 feet rods with shootingheads around 8-10 meters or similar WF lines with belly weights around 14-20 grams. In the Danish rivers it's mostly 10 feet rods, and short headed WF's. my personal favorite has a 6 meter head around 13 grams... In the WC most use 18-20 meters shootingheads of 27 grams, that would never see water with seatrout in it. Ditch the seatrout moniker and call it what it is, casting sport event 2 light There's enough bollocks in advertising of flyfishing tackle, why let it flow over to competitions too...
