Because Stevie Anderson can use the 125g on .28 and has been adapting his casting to suit, and is showing his ability to step up and do it on these line's and leads!
Try it yourself, you may like it!

you have to move with the times if we didnt we'd all still be using greenheart rods and scarborough reels,it doesen't matter what size lead you use you still have to have style and technique.anybody can muddle there way through with the heavier leads but it takes a lot more skill to cast the lighter leads timing has to be spot on and knowing when to put the power in is an art in itself to fast to soon and your out of court or youve got a face full of line.
rod and reel technology has come a long way so why shouldnt casting if you want to stay in the past then thats you perogative but dont expect everybody else to stand still i dont think it matters what lead you cast the winner will allways be the better caster on the day.

s anderson like a lot of others are being forced in to it to compete with lesser casters .i have tried other lads set ups and found my distance was up with the light line lead combo but i thought i was trully cheating on myself i would never fish with it so why cast it

125 is very beneficial to you thats why you support it .and the best caster isnt winning on the day thats the hole point of this debate

Hang on, so Stevie lad is bieng forced into it, its wrong? What if i'm forced into using heavy gear is that wrong as well?
Can you possibly see outside the bubble?

The words contradictary spring to mind, but only if you see it from both sides!

what a load of b******s ive cast all weights on .35 and still have the records to prove it and the lighter lines and i still cast the 175 and 150 when the conditions dictate come out of the dark ages man.

strange you should say that bob, -- a few are thinking along the same lines. if it is, its time admin stepped in to stop the crap stirring, if it is,nt [which i doubt] i apologise

as for not using the lighter leads for fishing, what do you think the blue impact leads are? they are 125 gram and i have been using them for fishing when conditions allow and they go very nicely, i use 0.31 or so ultima f1 for fishing. pretty close to what we use at the tournaments. maybe you dont use anything like the light leads for fishing but i know i do!
