because you have a lot less mass than the Dude ?
Are you saying that Paul steps on his rods?

Hamish breaks rods and he's quite big, I think you could be on to something there Marc

heck, local (Sweden) Rony Landin just set a world record of 42,5m (139ft) in competition and he's not that much thicker than Lasse !
i can't prove it but i get the feeling that bigger guys break more rods. (and they don't necessarily cast farther
)
cheers,

Hi Marc
Ronny throws far, but don't overdo it
Swedish records

Ahem..... I haven't broken many rods that belong to me
Besides, the additional mass of casting 'ballast' as I like to call it, can be helpful on occasion :p

Hi Marc
That is the longest true 5 weight line cast I know of in competition
Can't find any longer recorded anywhere I've looked.

Actually go for cane instead, that might give you something you'll have a hard time breaking
How come I don't break rods?
Cheers
Lasse
Perhaps you don't break rods because you're
, and I quote "Not a well built person" And "Quite a lean looking character." :p
Yup, I'm also a pencil-neck.
I'd guess Greenheart would be tough to break for Paul too if it hasn't dried.

Sakke, don't believe everything you hear on the internet :p
