Hi there, I\u2019m Zuie\u2019s Storm! I\u2019m a Sexyloops HT10- Lee put Competition 9\u2019 #5 v2 on the butt, but you get the idea. Personally I think it looks even cooler. Right now I\u2019ve got a few issues with Paul selling me to this Australian nutter obsessed with distance casting. Fair dinkum I haven\u2019t had a day off since I got here and it\u2019s getting to me a bit. I mean fair enough I\u2019m built for this job but a day off wouldn\u2019t hurt. Even a day saltwater fly fishing would make a nice change but I can\u2019t see that happening anytime soon. He\u2019s asleep right now so I\u2019ll write what I can before he wakes up.<\/p>\n
Zuie keeps going on about Andy Dear (a Texan mate of his) sending him an article on the legendary Bass fisherman Rick Clunn and how Clunn has studied native American spiritualism, zen buddhism and quantum physics and how he uses elements of all these and applies it to his fishing. Clunn has been world champion a million times apparently. So Zuie\u2019s off on the same tangent! Before every cast with me he keeps incessantly saying \u2018I must become as one with the HT!\u2019 Drives me spare. So yesterday I put a bit of my spine into it and let him cast the GT125 Bario 5wt 130+ feet. We didn\u2019t measure it but there was plenty of backing out and the line and most of the leader was straight so you work it out. Put it this way, it\u2019s his best cast by a long way so I did him a favour. But he\u2019s got to do some work on his technique before I intervene and help him out again. He keeps saying he hasn\u2019t tamed me yet!! What a wanker! It\u2019s no problem for me, I\u2019m the fastest blank in the west (South, east and north as well if it comes to that). And I\u2019m the best looking one! But I don\u2019t want to encourage him too much right now in the event of a miracle and I can get a day off. Hopefully he\u2019ll do a shoulder or get another tennis elbow- whatever!<\/p>\n
To add insult to injury he keeps telling me he hopes I turn out to be as good as his HT4, the rod he fished the Tasmanian trout lakes last summer, and goes inexorably on and on about how good it is. I\u2019d like to point out to him that I\u2019m related by design to the HT4 so he\u2019s wasting his time telling me. You\u2019d think he\u2019d know that, I mean COME ON! Yesterday he went on and on about getting another relative of mine, the HT6. It\u2019s all getting a bit much for me and let\u2019s be honest, if I wasn\u2019t the best 5wt distance rod in the world, all his rambling on about the HT4 and how purportedly good the HT6 is I\u2019d be losing a bit of confidence. But the truth is I don\u2019t have an issue with self confidence, I am the best after all. There\u2019s more I could complain about but guess what!?!? He\u2019s awake (that\u2019s an oxymoron!) and getting ready for another session!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll get back to you sometime in the future if I ever get a day off! Hopefully with a story about fighting a massive fish instead of all this launching of Bario 5wt\u2019s into space.<\/p>\n
