Achieving longer casts

[manitoubass2]

I have no experience in beach casting or anything similar, so I can't chime in on that matter.

But, for bass, pike & walleye, It all depends on the set up. Line is a major factor, as is the rod and reel.

It's all based off experience, so you have to try and learn over time. I only use a 6'6" med heavy rod, a Okuma Avenger reel and the line depends, but it's 6-8lb mono, or 8-20lb Suffix 832 or Powerpro.

If you have any heavy mono around, just for fun, try and cast that far. Never happen, at least not consistently.

6lb mono will chuck baits far, but 20lb mono good luck, lol.

For the most part I use a side cast, one handed or two handed, but generally only one handed.
