levelwind-non levelwind distance !

[eelman]

Everyone is missing the boat!! With all the bullcrap that ron arra has sold everyone, all of a sudden evryone wants to cast 100+ yards.

The truth is and, I have fished a long time,I would like you to tell me how you set-up on a fish that far out?? Its crazy, what good is getting the hit if you cant set the hook??
I have landed many,many 30+pound fish within 20 feet of the shore!!

Another fact, more fish are cast over than cast too!! At night,90percent of the fish caught are right in the wash at your feet.

Those guys are strickly distance casters for compatition!! They are not "fisherman".Distance casting for competative reasons is totaly and completly different form surf casting.Everything for those guys is perfect,special weights,casting in a field, no wind etc,etc,etc.....

I have caught thousands of fish with levelwind reels without a problem.I have never,in 17plus years of surfcasting seen anyone surfcasting with a non-levelwind reel ever!! The only rare exection being chunkers who do not have to cast repetedly.

It is wise to worry about catching fish and not distance tournement casting.
