[AG]

no fixed spool records for either exist. nobody bothers with fixed spools on the court so there up for geabs

These records will all be amended after the finals this sunday as the majority of leads will be cast.

thats a hell of a cast 227 yards on 175 gms, where i think the 200
gms falls down is the fact nobody wants to risk breaking their rods
on it , the 175 could fall into that catorgory also, the conoflex scorpion
sport could take on both leads no problem,

Jonny there all ulster records . And some fantastic ones at that ! Great fixed spool casts from josie .

[Jonny]

Jonny there all ulster records.

Would that not make them Irish records ?

Great fixed spool casts from josie .

All done without a finger stall. I cringe every time I watch him cast

[AG]

Our records must be leinster records then ? The old IMASA held the official irish records . Sportcast ireland have taken over from IMASA in the running of casting in ireland in the same way UKSF run casting in the uk . There can be clubs etc like a munster casting club or a leinster club etc but sportscast ireland are the new IMASA for records and teams etc ! Thats why sportscast ireland was set up .

[paddyc]

I think this was all sorted out years ago between IMASA and the old North Down Casting Club and i think ther was another club too, thats why Sean has his casts down on your whos who section as Ulster records!! I would have thought that you guys were in the same boat as the UKSF

[weaverboy]

not bad 227 yard p.mason - eyesight def not what it used to be .

[AG]

huge cast 277 yard p.mason fs, not only a irish record but it was further
than bradley riseboroughs 269 yard world record at that time,
very srange affair .

steve

227 yards stevo . gary setchell had the uk fixed spool record not bradley .

[weaverboy]

thanks andrew, have altered original text, but still think bradley
held it somewhere round that time,

steve,

No probs Andrew. I was just thinking of it as Ireland as a whole

[weaverboy]

surely somebody can cast with a fixed-spool its not really that hard,
wouldnt be to difficult to throw a cap over the UCC fixed-spool casting
records. im sure josie is a very good caster indeed.

steve.

[AG]

You would have to cast at a ucc event to claim a ucc record ! Ive seen josie hit them with the fixed spool and he is very good !

[weaverboy]

would you not have a go with the fixed spool andrew , some of the fs
reels used in casting are excellent, personel favourite daiwa tournament
