Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 9, 2010 Super User Posted April 9, 2010 What rod/reel are you using ? Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted April 9, 2010 Super User Posted April 9, 2010 With a 3/4 oz wight you should be able to throw well into the next zip code. That assumes you are using a reel that is properly adjusted and a rod (7' or greater IMO) rated for 3/4 oz or better. I had a bent guide earlier this year that caused me grief until I figured out what was going on. The cast should be more like lobbing a hand grenade than firing a bullet. Good luck. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 9, 2010 Super User Posted April 9, 2010 VERY IMPORTANT NEVER cast overhead. The arch should be outside your casting shoulder. A weight or a hook smashing into the back of your head is no fun! 8-) Quote
