I brought a knife to a gun fight and paid the price.

If you boys saw me try to cast an overhead, then you would understand the safest thing would be the barra. It ain't pretty.

Tiagra 50s are a little difficult to cast Steve:grin: Especially when you strapped to a harness.

Pretty would not be the word I'm looking for.

Doesn't matter what you do Steve, it will never be pretty..........unless you want to call it pretty BAD...........:grin:

Yes Mark, you are dead right. Mind you, the reason is that you are usually standing beside me..........

Smart Ars3! I am just teaching myself to cast a baitcaster, so any overhead is ugly. What you are suggesting is not a gun, but a cannon:shocked:

He he he. I remember a few years back when I first fished Monduran that I loaded myself up with an elephant gun to tackle these things.

A Wilson Live Fibre 20kg PNG bass stick with a Blacksheep 300......you'd need Popeye arms just to cast that outfit around the sticks for more 20 minutes.

That being said, you never ever felt undergunned:cheesy:

funny how times have changed Paul
...... my first impoundment barra trip to Faust involved the use of a a suped up calcutta 400 (50lb braid) & a black bass rod built on a calstar blank - certainly an elephant gun

now I'm often casting a 7kg spin rod with a 2500 size reel & 20lb braid.
I still have a lightish 50lb outfit ...... but its the least one used

Why so heavy Chris? Hang on, I just answered that:undecided: I still think I am a chance of landing a metre + on the bass gear, but it would need to be in relatively clear water. I stood no chance in the tight stuff.
