Fredrikh,

Lasse, Came over to the US this weekend. In one of his classes he showed video clips of you and several other people listed in the results you have posted here. I was very impressed.

I would like to cast similar equipment. Can you post the specs for the equipment used in the distance single hand class.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Bill!

Glad to hear that!

The gear used in the event called "Trout distance" is:

* Rods max length 9'.
* Three lines allowed: Barrio GT140(S) #5, SA ED #5 120', RIO tournament #5.
* Leaders max 3m long.

"Seatrout distance":

* Rods max length 10'.
* Floating shootinghead of max 27g.
* Shooting line no thinner than 0.35mm.
* Leaders max 3m long.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Fredrik

Fredrikh,

Thank you for the post.
I think Lasse is going to send me a head like the ones you use. When casting with people a half a world away it is important to make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Needless to say there are some very impressive distances being posted here. Is Barrio GT140(S) #5 a 140 foot line or what does the 140 stand for in that name?

What rod and line combination did you cast in the 5 weight, Fredrik?
It's an exploration; bring flyrods.

Hi Bill!

Yes, the GT140 is 140' long. You can find more information here.

Internationally however, only one line is allowed for the Trout distance event, the SA ED.

Best regards,
Fredrik
