S-J - I agree for the most part. However, often at places I fish (one place in particular
- right Schoolie Monster?) I've had 90% of the action at the last 20' of the cast and a little inside. Now this isn't an all or nothin' statement but what I am looking to do is gain an extra 20 feet somehow on my existing, decent eel cast... Based on my experience & gut feeling - especially at this spot, that would result in additional fish.
I'm often amused at people overcasting (been known to do that myself on occasion) depending on the location but to have that little extra capability does work in some situations....
