Rod for Fly Casting Competitions
Greetings,
Recently attended a fly casting comp and am keen to continue with the ultimate aim of improving casting and accuracy. What I would like to know is what people think is a good rod, reel & line combo for international rules fly casting competition. I currently use a 7-wt rod but notice nearly everyone is using heavier equipment. thanks in advance Cheers |

I currently use a 7-wt rod but notice nearly everyone is using heavier equipment. I'm very novice at casting, but I understand that the longer and heavier the rod and fly line, the longer the cast. The guys with spey rods can do _very_ long casts. Check out the rules. I'm sure they have some limitations on rods and lines. Try getting one of the longest and heaviest of everything allowed. -- rbc:vixen,Minnow Goddess,Willow Watcher,and all that sort of thing. Often taunted by trout. Only a fool would refuse to believe in luck. Only a damn fool would rely on it. http://www.visi.com/~cyli |
