DAMN, thought I posted hours ago. The latest one sportsworld in Johnsonville, its predessesor from Norcross in Henderson.

Damned good allrounder and reasonably cheap enough to put through anything and not worry too much about it. Now for the new flyfishing rod I am after. The OH is finally figured it out that the $350 rod I have on layby is very cheap for what it is.

casting round 100-120 std with 3oz sinker and because I have kids el cheapo surfcasters are a better bet...its a butterworth coastal, as the tip gets broken and a bit shorter the better it is rock fishing for moki. Its a medium fast action rod and very very easy to load, no swinging just load casting. Remember guys your body is a spring, stand face on, turn at the hips and cast through the shoulder. Most of all be absolutely balanced otherwise you could end up on your butt. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than going to a surfcasting comp, getting comments on casting distance and have someone else say but she looked a bit off today. The looks are priceless. I dont do casting competitions unless I am dragged kicking and screaming and I have won a couple of trophies for distance and accuracy with flyfishing. This has paid an integral part in improving my ditance with a surfcaster, I learnt to load a rod properly and be able to feel when the rod is ready]]> Sun, 09 May 2004 19:56:00 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=54870&title=surf-casting#54870 <![CDATA[surf casting : whats the standard distance when...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=54861&title=surf-casting#54861 Author: Nsane

ok rod length is more a personal/environmental choice.

According to everyone and their critic, including the guy at norcross I should not be using my favourite surfcaster. Apparentlu someone 5ft tall should not be fishing with a 250gm 16 footer. Well eat my farts, I wonder why I can cast over sandbar every muggins has to wade out to cast over.

Seriously its what you can handle safely and comfortably.

check out the k-mart flyers as well. they sell okuma, even penn, and often have 20% off sales. Sometimes they throw a bunch of fishing gear in a bin and discount it as well. ]]> Sun, 09 May 2004 16:35:01 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=54834&title=surf-casting#54834 <![CDATA[surf casting : Example of rebel special : I recently...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=54794&title=surf-casting#54794 Author: CK

Example of rebel special : I recently bought an Okuma Epix 10 Ball Bearing reel for $79.95. Previously it was priced at $199.95. Now thats what I call a bargain. A shame the salesman didn't know the first thing about fishing, but who cares with those prices.]]> Sat, 08 May 2004 22:00:29 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=54794&title=surf-casting#54794 <![CDATA[surf casting : whats the price difference when...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4444&PID=50706&title=surf-casting#50706 Author: Nsane
