[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2639446, member: 120504"] Gday Aaron Well thanks I think also lol I was talking this thread as it was a few days since I’d seen it & was only a couple of posts , then the rest happened once I came back No need to go back to that one 12 months ago all water under the bridge for me & a few things learnt since then anyway That’s good to here about the book & although I’m not a big book reader I look forward to the day it comes out So here’s a bit more information on how I found my way to monos & may be worth investigating a little on these yourself ( im not telling you what to do that’s solely upto you ) as the following hands down is the best type/style of mono produced ( from the fur calculator) & why I don’t believe you will wage a war on monos once you see the advancement in monos its a lot like from cast to c&c then to bonded it’s all a learning process & the application we can now use this information to our benefit if we choose to or just keep shooting
