Yoey, I would like to believe that there was some sort of consultation be it very limited, there seems to be a large proportion of members who were kept in the dark.
The heavier leader didn't cause your wind knots it was a combination of things, the cross wind line not being wound onto the reel tight enough, over stressed rods, if you don't believe me check out the photos.
Sponsorship is like marriage it needs constant attention, the divorce papers arrived today.
Yoey and you other decision makers you have gone away from the fairest casting rules that are used in the rest of the world.
