Thanks for all your updates Steve,the fips site have some pics
and vid footage on their site.
Bill,I think the answer is simple for the lightweight guys,drink
more beer and eat more meat pies😀.

Cheers guys. Will check out the FIPS site havent been on it in a
few days. Thats exactly it eat eat eat!!
Yes Bill I am sure it would def attract more casters who feel
they are at a disadvantage due to body weight.
If there was 2 classes where would the cut off be everyone would
have different ideas.
I think under 85 over 85 or so altho 85 is still quite
light'ish.

Steve think the cut off should be around 70 or 75 kilos max !
Then this would be classified as a true lightweight category
don't forget the young guys in their 20's they are all skinny
and lightweight this would attract them to enter and compete in
this wonderful sport and it would get more popular I'm
sure.Right now the skinny or smaller man has to compete with
guys who are 90+ or even 100kilos weight I find it's unfair.It
would be an exciting category this lightweight class just as
exciting and keenly contested as the heavyweight class.Im sure
everyone will see there will be a difference in distances
achieved in the lightweight category Vs heavyweight category.
Then you'll see my point
Just my opinion
Bill

> Was following this tournament closely thanks to steve of this
excellent forum we were all kept very well updated ! I just
couldnt help myself and im sure everybody noticed the staggering
no. of HIGH REEL USERS ! This question of high reel vs low reel
speaks clearly in this tournament from now on its not whether is
low reel better ? or does low reel cast further ?
etc.......answer .....! its use low or high reel both can cast
just just as well so just choose whatever that suits you !
Fantastic casting by all the gents who took part and there were
many kinds of interesting styles not commonly seen.My personal
favourite has always been Mr Duane Lockwood of England what a
beautiful casting style he has and there's this particular
italian who had a very nice high swing style at 3.10sec. on
video Longcasting Champ 2018.
> Normally hard hitting super long distance tourney styles are
not exactly smooth but Duane Lockwood has such a wide smooth
progressive style its a delight to watch him bend his rod and
cast !
> Another thing i must say is Body strength is crucial ! No
offence to the all the heavyweights of casting but what chance
does the normal sized or skinny caster have in a world casting
tournament ? IF both the normal or skinny guy vs the big guy
both with same good technique with good speed delivery etc
......there's simply no chance for the small guy.
> Which is why i say its high time this casting tournament
should have a kind of weight class say guys up to 70 or 75kilos
max in weight and call this the LIGHWEIGHT CATEGORY ! Im sure
this weight category would attract many casters from around the
globe and would be equally as exciting(may be more keenly
contested) to watch as the heavyweight category.
> Very nice slomo footage of casters in this excellent
tournament.

take a look to: Mateo monti always, Juan Pablo Peralta and
waldemar Fernández, who i know he can better than that, but
first worlds seems to afect his cast. The uruguayan Rodrigo
beares too is a normal size guy. Nazareno Cajal.i know you bil
will like his cast.
