We held a Barrio 3wt Challenge at the Sexyloops Scottish Gathering in Strathdon last weekend. This was a knockout distance casting competition and it proved to be great fun

The kit consisted of two Barrio LC903 3wt rods fitted with standard 90ft Barrio GT140 WF3F fly lines. Basically, names were drawn from a hat and competitors cast in pairs down the tape for two minutes, whoever cast furthest went through to the next round
