being shorter makes you feel like your part of the surf.. Hate to tell you but your really missing out .

Tall means I have to take half as many steps on the rocks.....thus cutting the opportunity of turning an ankle in half!!:uhuh: Plus we can wade in deeper water...which I am guessing is what Flap is referring to?! Biggest disadvantage to being tall is when you catch a big fish.....they all look small in the pictures! There is your biggest advantage right there for being short......guys like Tagger can make a schoolie look like it weighs 40 pounds!!:bgi: Just ribbin' you Ed!

Casting momentum - the biggest advantage, like a tall pitcher. A ten foot pole cast by a tall person is launching from way up.

Flap can cast one helluva long ways. I can, of course, outcast him.........only not with the line attached.

being short you can hide easier in those secret spots. being tall you stand out like a flag pole.

One thing I hate about "M" is when some 6'6" d-bag in a wetsuit pushes the line out another ten feet..:fury:

.................you GIANTS have onehelluvalot farther to FALL.

not that i would wish anything like that on you and Flap,,,,,,,,,,,,
prolly hurts more the farther you fall :devil2: :devil2:

and another disadvantage would be that you guys are expected
to be able to reach farther and deeeeper; so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

*there MUST be a HUGE Performance Anxiety Factor
that is attached to such God given loftinesses.* that is all,

carry awwwwwwn!

The needle I was using this week that outperformed all the others was only 5 inches long, yet the bass wanted it more than the others.

Hmmm... what a metaphor!

Eddy, you have never seen a little green one eyed trouser trout pattern needlefish? They are very popular in Ireland.
