Whitney is a good friend and one of the best distance casters I\u2019ve seen. She is off to the Worlds in Italy this month. I hope she has a fantastic tournament!<\/p>\n

Oversized fighting butt as special request and a feature that Andy and I will give a Podcast on soon.<\/p>\n

Whitney and I have been working together on 5WT distance for about two and a half years. A wonderful double-handed Spey caster. And she also has a wonderfully smooth 170 stroke<\/p>\n

The Tornado 10 is also a Comp 5WT as everyone now knows and understands well! It also doubles up for Permit and occasionally Tarpon too!!<\/p>\n

For Imaginary Saltwater fishing it\u2019s become difficult to find a true to weight 10WT line. I personally use the Infinity Salt. 9.5 for quick shots. If the fly is bigger then the 10.5. Originally it was designed with a RIO technical tarpon line with a 60\u2019 head, that was true to weight and is now discontinued!<\/p>\n

Many 5WT distance casters at the WCs choose this rod for Trout Distance. I particularly like it compared to other 10WTs because it\u2019s quite comfortable at picking up a relative short length of line under control. I set the British record with mine some years back. Then Bart beat mine with his HT10. Nick has since beaten that one with the HT5!<\/p>\n

Best of luck to Whitney, Rickard and Joel. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n
