Not being a smart butt but my pat(tried,tested, and successful) answer Is I can cast any bait far enough to catch fish. I am greatly of the opinion that casting distance, In the majority of applications, is inconsequential; location and accuracy are far more Important. On the rare occasion that distance Is required I generally adjust accordingly and thumb the spool. If the target Is 40 yards away and you can only cast 35, move 5 yards closer. In my opinion moving five yards closer will not spook the fish.
