That's equivalent to something like twelve Lara Bingles  ;D

Brandon,
That was a one rep wonder (result of a pissing match with my trainer ::) )
I normally don't legpress near that when I'm training properly.

Kevin,
All the jokes about training aside, it really just comes down to weight/leverage. All the power in the world won't help if you get pulled off your feet. Trying to put hurt on a big fish through a long stiff lever like the FV simply gets harder the lighter you are. Even the UHL is a burly rod (I've seen Aaron getting carted along the gunnels running 22kg of drag on a serious fish on his ) and it's nowhere near the Fire Vortex.

Unless you're trying to work massive poppers (where a stiff rod helps) something that folds away to the butt like a Smith Komodo Dragon is going to give you the best leverage.

Kevin Li:
Thanks for all the feedback.

I use to be 85kg but has loss weight since. I just tried 100kg full squat using a bar and weight. Will need a couple of weeks to get use to it.

Btw, is the black diamond, firevortex and blackmafia fast or through action?

May be I've been influenced by surfcasting but I like lightning fast recovery in a rod and which bites back if you have put the power too early when casting. A super stiff rod for casting which does deliver the good with good timing and speed.

Greg Burt:
!2 Lara Bingles, I'll like to see that, Brandons Heaven  :D

Chris Young:
I'd like to see just 2 of Lara's Bingles  :P :P ;)

Brandon Khoo:
Bloody hell, if I had that, you guys wouldn't see me on this site too often   ;D
