Good move

Nice to see a casting board on the site. It would be handy for a link to the surf casting board to be placed somewhere in here, just a suggestion. :thumbup:

Simon , just out of interest like as I used to do a bit , who has the world record now and what rod and reel did he use ?

 

[simon]

check out this for all records past and present

Danny Moeskops holds the 125g 150g and the 175g, he uses a Century wr300, not the version you can buy in the shops, his is about 15ft, he also uses a Abu reel 6600 with major mods as you can imagine. It is a very long way to chuck a lead, it is a sight to behold.

Thanks for that Simon -interesting . That Danny Moeskops is some boy eh .

I you\'re right there Dave, you should see him cast one day if you can, I have never seen anything like it, his style is very unorthodox.

simon how easy did you find it to get on the board it took me ages
the Nutter in the Field

 

[simon]

Very easy Pete, I put this post up when the board first came up, I didn\'t realise it was goin to mean the shut down of the surf casting board, its not such a good idea now eh.

Simon,

If you read the post on the \'Old\' board it looks like cost is a BIG reason.

Were not all rich like you - LOL
