150grams or 170grams??

What are people's thoughts??? After having a lesion with Colin I've been out practicing is it best to practise with a 150g or a 170g???

Cheers

heavier the lead the slower you wanna be in the cast, i would say 150g but my knowledge is limited..

Everyone had different opinions thats why I thought I'll ask. As its only been couple months ago I learnt pendulum

practice is better with a heavier lead.
if you can manage it practice with a 200 gm lead. it will slow you down and help with the timingno end.

A 200g lead will certainly find any weak spots in your csst. I ususlly practice with 150g but take heavier aswell

Cheers for that rich I will give it a go and see how I get on. If you see on the news a fisher man dies by a 200g lead you know it was me lol

Cheers mate ill take a range of leads.

Will you be practicing over grass or water?

Water as you asked that does it make much difference or not??? ( or was that just stupid of me to ask) lol

No difference, just better to use a hockey ball if its over grass, saves a lot of walking!

I will dare that in mind if I ever practice on a field.

Heavy lead wins every time, light leads will allow you to get away with poor timing. And at least then when you whac on that big cod bait you won't know any difference.

What size leader would you need for 200g?

All good sound advise there, the bigger leads help you slow down the cast which in turn helps your timing.

If anglers cast at half the speed they do now their distance will increase how many members on here who had a session with me have been bored with me telling them to slow down !!!!!!!

Cheers Shane makes sense now cause always feels not right when cast big cod bait. But like u said wouldn't notice it if using heavy weight casting

Like dizzy said what leader also why knot would be best?

60-70lb will be fine and a normal leader knot

Nothing wrong with that as long as lead is in the right place!!!!

why you have a leader knot is so that the leader is attched to the mainline

I see, so that crack I kept hearing was the lead breaking the sound barrier
