Max casting weight - 1.75 test curve
Posted: 19 Jun 2013 07:48
Hi all.
Just bought a new barbel rod, the JW Young travel barbel one.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this particular rod? What I'm most keen to learn is the max casting weight. It's a 1.75 test curve, so I'm wondering if say 3oz is the maximum casting weight. I'm not sure it will hold up to lobbing 4oz weights into the BA on a fully flooded river (when the time comes).
Does anyone else use a rod with a 1.75 TC and what is the maximum weight they are prepared to cast out?
Cheers,
Chris
