Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted April 25, 2010 Super User Posted April 25, 2010 I noticed nobody mentioned lure wt. I can pitch a heavier lure further than a lighter one,,but I'm more concerned with accuracy and lure presentation than how far I can pitch it. But I would say 20 to 30 ft. Right,but your rod type,reel,line,and reel settings can play a big part in it too. Quote
Blue Streak Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 If I try to pitch too far the bait gets too high and lands with a splash. Like Mottifa, I like a low pitch and a quite entry. Quote

It's great for flipping but I don't like it all that much for pitching. I'm only about 5'10" so when I dip the rod down on my backswing, I can't go as far as I'd like to be able to. I have a medium heavy 6 footer that I can pitch easily twice as far with but it sits in my garage. I may end up putting it back in the boat just for pitching, lol. Quote
