Competion casting and real world fishing casting are two different things.
These guys competion casting are using 14 ft Rods,
MOdified reels, and light line.
I don't care if someone can cast 600, 800 or 1000 feet with a 3oz casting sinker, you can't catch fish on sinkers.
Now being able to throw a 3oz pencil 120 yards is usually more than adequate for most situations.
Numbskull had a great comment about this on the other site. Basically it was boat guys want to cast as close to shore as possible and the surf guys want to cast as far from shore, pretty funny but true.
I've been throwing a 11ft century stealth and an a 2.5oz pencil average 110 yards, max was 117 yards. I feel that's more than enough for the areas I fish.
I am building a century 1328 and a SPOD, will be interesting to see who those do.
