Casting Distances

<< < (2/2)

Craig Maree:
How much extra distance you think one could get on 8ft5 rod which is some 15cm longer?

What be interested in distance guys are getting on the 8ft2 to 9ft rods.

For some land based and boat based areas around heavy surf the extra distance means the difference between strikes and no action.

My test showed that

80m casting distance on Temple Reef GT 80-10 (Pathfinder) Stella 10k SW /SOM 16k spool loaded with JBH 100lbs casting 120g chisel nose plug.

85m casting distance on a Shimano 10ft rod with the same reel and lure above.

100m casting distance with a 9ft6 CD rod and a Daiwa overhead reel and the above lure.

I would really be interested to know what casting distance you guys are getting with what setups...rod, reel, braid and lure.

How do you find that Temple Reef Pathfinder GT 80-10? I put in a post today of either that one or the widow maker.

Regards Richard
