Hi All,

For your information, planning for the 2011 Sexyloops annual Scottish meet is now underway.  It will happen in the local area somewhere to be confirmed.  The dates are weekend of 13th, 14th & 15th May 2011, get them in your diary now!!

Further updates will appear here and in the announcements forum on the Sexyloops board. 

I think we may have a new competition class this year for the shootout this year too  :grin


Cheers

Ben

If this new class has anything to do with short pink rods, spey lines and distance..... count me in :wink
I appear to be quite handy at that :cool:

Hi folks :cool:

I am putting together an open casting competition to be held during the Sexyloops weekend. The Barrio 3D Knockout will be a distance competition with a twist to make things interesting, so you could be head to head with some of the best casters in the world ..... Cool :cool:

There will obviously be some cool prizes and the tackle for the competition will be supplied on the day, consisting of my Barrio LC903 3wt fly rods and one of my GT Series fly lines :wink

You are all welcome to join in the fun and if you fancy some training and practice before the event, perhaps Ben and Magnus would help us out with an Outcast meeting or two? :z3

Best wishes
Mike

Hamish, I wouldn't let you loose with a three weight, not one of mine anyway. With your unique action it's more likely to come back looking like a corkscrew.

 Mike 120 is a tad optomistic concidering the weather we are likely to have and the casting characteristics of your average #3 rod. You may need to bring several replacements while we give it a go though.

Hi Mike, you are right of course :z14
Wouldn't it be cool if somebody does 100 with the 3wt ......... :z16
