This will be my 1st time to SCI. Will I have to cast all leads 100,125,150,175? Problem being my gear is limited at the moment and I only have a reel for 150gram.

The 350g sounds like fun tho! And a rod breaker?!?!

hi stevie

the 350 grm's just me messin, i recon it certainly would be a rod breaker though, if not a few limbs besides!

you could stick to the 150grm for the day since it's your first time to an sci meet

although i've a spare 65 mag i could loan ya for the day, you can load it for the lighter leads or the 175 if that suits

best-lee
only reel men cast!

Looking forward to another day on the hill.

Conditions at the minute are looking fairly sweet.

Hopefully manage to get a decent cast away on the day.

i think the heaviest weight used with it was 175grm

a 350grm, if anyone was mad enough to try might be a different story :twisted: :twisted:

they'd be a contender for A&E i recon!! :(
