You're talking about Danny Moskeops, now, come on. These guys can do things with rod and line most of us can only dream about. They make it look easy, because they're pros.

I'm talking about a standard fishing situation.

Even a tournament caster would struggle at that range with a 3oz lead

So, you're saying it can't be done. Here's the proof of what I've been saying about 0.37mm mono. This is what Terry Edmonds said on his Facebook page on 11th May.

Freespirit 13ft 3.5 su CTX and Daiwa windcast being cast 185 by my client 10lb line and leader. Also had casts to 160 yards 0.37mm mono and leader. 4.5 ounce leads being used to combat the wind ✌️

You know what I was getting at, mate. All you've done is split hairs with everything.

You haven't been able to disprove what I've been saying, and this is the level that you stoop to just for kicks.

Bravo 👏

That's probably on a field, or at least not opposite another angler.
I don't understand the whole argument
.37 should be ok but plenty of people could snap it on demand

Using a shock leader and very forgiving 3.5tc rod. Over the last 2 years I've tried at least four different 13ft distance rods that will snap 0.37 xt straight through and a 4oz lead.

Yeah, they'll crack off because of angling error. It's not the line and it's not the lead. 0.37mm can easily cope up to 150 yards straight through. But, beyond that stick a leader on.

4oz is well within tolerance. So, why would you want to use light leads on a deep large lake with loads of undertow? Doesn't make sense

You seem to have very similar chat to a young man on here who recently got made to look a bit silly by a very good angler called Oz. He's disappeared and you've piped up....

Tuitions have been interesting this week from boiling hot and sunny to wet through lol. Loads of gains 20lb fluorocarbon being cast 140 yards, to 15lb 0.37mm straight through over 150 yards. Technique proving once you understand, you can cast anything.

Re spooled my spools ready for the weedy lakes on my syndicate, also one that sinks decent 👍🙌
