It was not long since the flycasting world championship in Estonia and my great friend Stefano managed to convince him to make a quick stop in Italy while going to Hungary, so that we could cast together and try his rods. We had just started casting with the #5 in races and Paul&#8217;s astonishing casts seemed impossible to reproduce.<\/p>\n<p>My first impression among the HT10 was frustrating due to the fact that I found it hard to load it properly. Thanks to the amazing advice that Paul gave me and to the daily training, the stiff rod #6 I was using,\u00a0after six\u00a0months of casting sessions, seemed to become insufficient and that was the moment when my HT10 arrived.<\/p>\n<p>The competition path is very hard and you go from moments of excitement, due to record distances, to moments of doubtful difficulties, but lucky enough&#8230; there is fishing! I long waited to take my HT10 to fishing because I only thought about it as my competition rod. When I first used it to pike fishing I understood that this rod can perform beautifully for casts with big pike streamers.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just returned from German Baltic sea, an amazing place where you can fish big pikes in low water. It wasn\u2019t easy due to the high salinity but I had great moments with the always sexy HT!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again Paul, and see you at the World championship 2018!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><span style=\"color: #1a1a1a;\"><\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/luca4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Paul last year in Milan.
