hatrix Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I have no issue casting 1/4 oz on a tatula. A KVD 1.5 you can bomb pretty good on anything I would say. The choice of line and rod also make a difference but I don't think there is much I could not cast on a tatula with in reason. 1 Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 I do not finesse fish with casting gear. That is left up to spinning gear. I have been able to throw 1.0 on my tatula now. I was looking at the Tatula Type-R. I played with my buddies reel yesterday and I believe I am picking up a Lews BB1. I was able to get some distance with a 1.0 and absolutely bomb the 1.5. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 10, 2014 Global Moderator Posted September 10, 2014 I fish the KVD 1.0 and 1.5 often and have no problem launching either on a supertuned Curado 200E5. I can actually cast them further on my E5 than I can with my 50E Curado, which is also supertuned. Quote
uncustered Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 My gen3 stx or gen 1 stx has no problem 75-100' with unweighted senko. This is on a MHX hm-mb843, and on my regular mb843...(7', fast action) The rod does more for distance then your reel. If you got to set your reel on the ragged edge to get the distance you want, you're gonna have a miserable time picking professional overruns out.... Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted September 11, 2014 Super User Posted September 11, 2014 A 5 inch Yamamoto Senko weights 3/8 oz. before the hook. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted September 11, 2014 Super User Posted September 11, 2014 A 5 inch Yamamoto Senko weights 3/8 oz. before the hook. If you can't get at least 30-35 yards with this, then you need a different rod. (Not referring to you Avery.) Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 11, 2014 Super User Posted September 11, 2014 A 5 inch Yamamoto Senko weights 3/8 oz. before the hook.Yeah, I wonder from where ppl get the idea that an unweighted senko is a light bait. Quote
bass1980 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 35 yards on a baitcaster is still hard on a senko even though it's not light. I have a T3 1016 and wacky rigged on a 7'3 *** Medium I'm able to average about 35 yards at max effort. Btw I test it at an actual football field so my distance is real. It's not as easy as some people think. 1 Quote

It's not as easy as some people think. 35 yards is further than I see any need to cast with anything other than maybe a deep crank or C rig. Better have braid or a hookset will be almost impossible that far out 2 Quote
