Understanding Rods

Fishing at 200mts plus with a 5oz lead using the movement of the rod tip
to
detect a bite,

Wish I could cast that far.....................

With my duff back a cast of 75 yards is a very painful effort and would mean
I would not enjoy my sport

As for beachcasters being stiff ???? boat rods are broom handles by
comparison EXCEPT uptide rods Which I use from piers and rock marks as
well

My 5m beach caster has a test curve of 4oz and is an "A" action rod

I presume you aint been near boats for a while most decent anglers regularly
use 8 - 12 lb class rods and I've got a couple of quiver tips which get
frequent outings.

The last time I went on as boat was ??????? except to go diving I prefer
the shore but sounds like the old 50lb class is dead and gone

What! a 4oz test curve beachcaster. Have you got a quiver tip grafted on
to it
I suspect you mean "casting" weight of 4oz.
Most beach casters would have "test curves" of over 3lb.

OOOPPPPSSS

a little bit of whisky in the way last night
4lb not 4 oz
