i'm doing loads of reading on the subject an talking to a few of the kiwis at work with exp but only back in nz lol
seems like the only other option to get some srss line out, instead of using an illegal cannon lol

I used kites back in the 70's, was a lot of fun. Great for skipping baits across the surface. In those days in WA we caught big tailor and Spanish mackerel. Only used box kites, they were the only ones with strength.
Probably better ways of doing it these days.

not really legal better ways hence looking at this, but read about using a card of plastic with a slit to drop the mainline when you stop it an let the kite keep going. i can't cast where i need to get to.

thank you for your reply thomasg
