  • Casting with a zippy

    Been on the field tonight after an early finish using a 5oz weight I thought I'd try out some of the rods......
    Sk3 I was giving all Iv got & reckon was less than 100yds
    Next tried the zeteque txl, better but not much of an improvement,
    Then tried the m4 evo and almost emptied the spool on my slosh20 with 25lb mono & 50lb shock

    Iv read about lots of people using braid, is it as good as they say?
    The m4 has reel in low down position could that be the difference? Or is the zeteque too stiff for me?
    What are your thoughts???

    Maybe because reel was down and m4 loads up right down the but then it goes some, maybe you didn't quite load up txl with it being stiffer, and sonic well crap really don't load that up it'll snap. Bet txl with reel down and a good fast wallop would go even further, my m4 evo prefers a slow start into cast and faster through to end

      To stiff mate also wouldn't recommend anything less than a 70lb shock leader

        At the end of the day if you can't put the bend in the rod you'll not get the distance.

                Maybe get one of the casting lads to take a look at you and give you some pointers
