Good morning.
Sometime ago, lets say well over a couple of years ago.
I thought that idea, as above with the pin from Pac Pacific kind of thing, would be suitable for a little 5/6w Trout Spey I was developing and testing some ideas and concepts with.
On the very first 'driven' cast it busted !
That is the areas on both sides had been strengthened, it was the metal pin that sheared in two peices.
Which amazed me, just how much force is at work in the bottom of a Double Handed fly rod when cast correctly.
Kind regards,
UB
(ps, 'that' person, who is against me posting on Doubles, sorry )
