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

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.
Can you BBQ EGG BALLS?

i think the heaviest weight used with it was 175grm
a 350grm, if anyone was mad enough to try might be a different story
they'd be a contender for A&E i recon!!
