Here in the UK we use 15lb mono with a 50lb shock leader this helps us cast a long way but allso helps reduce the drag factor in the water all so the lead goes straight down with no big bow in the line.We use bait clips and impact shields which stream line the bait and will protect a very soft bait for casting this may not be any help to you but any one wanting to cast a soft bait a long way well in excess of 100 yards it may be of help
