Ah,the great Dave Docwra!,a top angler and caster,an innovative tackle dealer,zippys built by Dave,usually attract a premium,as shown by a recent sale on "Flea bay", I think he mostly does coarse angling these days,a bit of a loss to sea angling/tourney casting IMO :mrgreen:

adendum to my last post re: Dave Docwra
after watching these clips, the penny dropped ,all the important points ,mentioned by Dave ,body rotation,head position ,set up etc,were all stressed to me by to guys from sports cast Irl,......cant quite remember their names, remember,you not only "seen it" first at sci,you hear it first too. 8) .Good luck on "Hamburger hill" tomorrow. :P
