The nzaca has adopted the well established rule set from the uksf above.

The only difference of note is the line class for the 150g class where they use a .31 running line where we use a .30 line due to its common availability here in NZ.

Hi vis mono leaders only as well but tapered leaders are allowed as long as the working section of the leader ( the sinker to the reel bit ) conforms to the diameter rules .

Fixed spool users can get some real distances with the lighter lines and it also helps those who just cant cope with bigger leads and have been handicapped by having to use a light lead on thicker line.

Oops .  Some leads are there at most events but it pays to have a few of your own. 

Hi vis.......In my view must be adhered to .In the event of a snap off a clear leader is bloody hard to find and we should only be leaving foot prints behind

Sakuma daiwa ultima all have hivis tapered leaders or you can use normal leader .I use ultima powerflex in 70lb for all my casting .

Normally they are .

Daiwa seems fine from the ones I have tried .The ultima was a little bit over but thats still fine .

Most are a little big in fact but thats mono line .

What about using printers lead, it's a lot heaver for a smaller dia. or do all casting weights have to be weighed?  

SO as long as the weights alright, it doesn't matter what sinker you use?

The .30 line is only legal for this current year. At the 2013 nats the new rules come into being.

Eureka

Yep saves a bit of wear and tear on the knot .  Most shops have them.

The more I learn, the longer my shopping list grows...
