This a a trap many fisherman fall into.Distance isnt everything.eels do not cast that far at all but, there is no need to cast them 200yds.Most fish are cast over than cast too,thats a fact.Casting far looks pretty but does not equell success.The other factor that is often overlooked is the hookset? How in the world are you going to set up on fish 100yds from shore? By the time you reel up the slack and take into account the stretch of the mono,good luck.
If the fish are that far out,Get a boat! I only fish conventional tackle and get more distance than spin gear but, Sometimes the fish are only 30yds or less of the shore,many, many hits come midway into the retrive.
So if your on a football field in a casting contest or on the beach on a bluebird day and want to look good,cast for the moon but, at night in the suds its not needed.
