Hey everyone i got one of those u beaut digital scale thingy's for chrissie & decided to test it out with Mr Bundy the other day .

We cracked a few rods out & loaded them up seeing how much drag we could put on

We made our way through the flick sticks & i was getting my Silstar powertip AKA Excalibre ready & made a few comments about it's strength when Al Bundy made some silly comment like ' my all pupose rod will kill that thing ' .

So the battle was on , i deliberately left the leader off my braid & rigged the braid straight to the scales & lent back gradually increasing the drag till i got just a smidge over 6kgs & was happy with that .

Then Mr Bundy had a go . Let me just tell youse that this thing is cheap Pioneer rod rated to about 5 or 6kg , hey it's cheap crap why would i bother checking out the rating , anyhoo he runs this Pre-Test (mono) line on it rated to 5.96 or something like that & i knew it would break under 6kg hehe

So Al's on the rod making all these big claims whilst loading it up when i noticed his drag sticking & started to make some comment but Al being 3/4's pissed brushed it of 'she's right Smell ' he says as he leans on it a bit more .

By this time i'm cringing & yelling out ' whoa whoa ' & the scales barely nudging 5kg .....

He keeps going giving it more & more then Whammo , whack , bang .

I look at Mr Bundy whose jaw has just hit the deck & i immediately start cracking up .

It broke waaay under the 6kg mark that's for sure around 5.2kg .

When we looked at the tip we were surprized to see it had not snapped but the tip guide had come off after the tip slammed into an overhead beam

We quickly put the rest of the rods away .

Probably the only Snappa he'll get with that rod . That'll teach him to put crap on Excalibre

Ha Ha .
lucky it did not come back and slam him on the snog.

that was not a good thing me thinks

Ill take a pic of my roof where i put the 15kg backbone's top two rollers through it.... Trying to set drag on the viagra whilst pissed!

Ive since plugged the hole with blutack!

Don't think he would have felt it mate , he's a brickie , think he's had a few bricks drop
on the old scon



Chadd , that's gold mate , you had me in stitches . Think Mr Bundy'll get a good laugh from it too .

& Poly it was a bad thing but a coupla days later i found the tip , so i guess the Question is should i chop just a tiny section off to put the tip back on in case of fractures or just whack it back on?????

best ask Arnie dog that one, as for me i would cut it back just in case.




strike me mate i just about pissed my self laughing when i read that.

did the viagra give u a hard on????????

Here Ya go!!!

A collage of pissed stupidity!

Smerry you Brurry Iriot

Why did you even bother to run line through the runners ??

Should've just hooked the scales to your rod tip

To me it seems that they might not have been able to think.

The idea of the exercise was to test out the rig's we use ...that means rod reel & line

I beleive there is no such thing as a stupid Q so at the risk of sounding stupid

would you realy do that ??? I know i would'nt but you seem to have gotten Christos ....looks like he would

I'm not a fan of loading up rods unless there connected fish . I have a mate who is always getting new rods & when i go round there he'll give me one of his new rods to hold while he tries to drag me to my knees & the whole time i just hang on freaking out .

Oh yeah AWESOME pics there Chadd , when's the chimney get installed ?LOL

Dont be sirry you'd damage the tip I was poo ring your reg

Bugger

I know that I miss read it some where.

Maybe this was me

Phew thought so .

Sorry Christos
