how about a beach casting day ,pick a venue put a few safety flags up bobs your uncle . lets have some feed back fellas.
Zippys are to soft in the butts
sold my ones they just keep bending no lock
they are made for old farts that move slow...

nothing to sort really, just an easy access beach .sundays are probably the best days to do this , i think itll be canny,
I swapped my XTR as the butt was to soft the TT-R has a better lock so you can hit it faster and harder Try this with a Zzippy the butt just keeps bending
and then you leave the tip behind.

yep it would be good to see surfcasting comps up here again,most of the casting community have forgoten that we,ve got some top level international and world class casters up here.yes ive tried to sort it but like i said before john/r i need help, i can,t do this thing on my own ,i have a court ,tapes etc , i need people willing to push the boat out a bit, yes there,s interest , come on ,lets try.if this is what you ne guys want to do ,then lets go. like match anglers/ tourno casters, we compete to win

hi willy, there is quite a bit interest you would be suprised the amount of people on to me about it steve took a mate down on field thurs afternoon got him up to 202yds in a couple of hour 19 half stone carl,then theres allan from horden, kirkleathem lads ,local lads ,dave your mate,chukka from birtley seems keen poss blackpool lads then hacksaw barn but not sure of that,harry barker i would think poss,as you say not just a comp but also it would be way for people to learn there would be plenty of people there more than willing to help we all have to start somewere
