Achieving longer casts

I've been trying it out the past few days where there's space... kinda a newbie half-baked pendulum cast. Still my lure will go further with one of these! Awesome.

Also today was my first time back to 6lb mono from the 10lb I spooled in the fall. I went from generic 10lb line to Berkley XL 6lb line... what a difference! It's night and day. My line unspools as long as the lure's in the air, without getting hung up. =D
