This time of year and into Nov you see a lot of top water action along the beaches that is way out there. When they are hitting stuff 80 yards out you will often see strikes as soon as the popper hits the water. I have a rod specifically made for long casting fall lures like poppers and metal like needle eels and Kastmasters etc. to get out to that 120 to 150 yard range. In the fall you will often see Bonitos and Albies out that far and the striper and blue action can move from 30 yards to 130 yards in a matter of minutes. Anyway , I am a proponent of being able to cast far. You can always cast less than your furthest but you can never cast more than your furthest.
