You can cover more water with long casts, but how you go about it is important. If you start with a long cast, your retrieve will spook any fish that is directly between you and the plug, since bait fish do not swim directly at predators. You are better off to start with shorter casts/retrieves and work your way out. I'm convinced the splash the plug makes when it lands attracts more fish than the rest of the retrieve. Also, make your first casts to one side of your spot and work across, rather than straight out then side to side. You will spook less fish this way......so when you get skunked you can blame the plug and not your technique. So says me who needs every excuse he can find these days.
