hi hardy thanks for the reply,as for the reels,which is best,,there are that many to choose from,,but for improving casting and gaining some distance,i would say try the abu 6500 sports mag,,or the penn 525 ultra mag,,both very capable reels,i have cast both reels over a grass court in excess of 260 yards and find they are great for fishing also,,again its down to the individual what they prefer,,i have modified reels,,abu 6500ct rockets,and abu ultra mags,all converted just for casting,they dont go fishing at all,,and i use a century ttr to cast with,,again up here it is a fairly big sporting thing,and many tournaments are now available,also tuition days for anyone wishing to learn,,have just taut a young lad,pendulum casts,,he has made some stunning improvements,,from his own casts of 190 yds to a magnificent cast of 243yds,,and he just looked so natural doing it,,if i can help in any way with casting styles,,or a training techneque,please just ask,,again theres always something on you tube ,,some good,,some bad,, wuold love to come down and compete,,and teach at the same time,,be great ,,have family in christchurch,,they tell me if i visit, i wont want to go home,,maybe,,
look forward to hearing from you , good luck ,,chris
