John, the 80-90 yard casts I refurred to are with the use of a clear casting bubble which you can partially fill with water to give wieght to help get distance. This rig is preffered hear to cast on top of ledges as the bubble keeps the eel on the surface where you want it. Just casting a 12" eel with a bare hook I am lucky to hit 35 yards . Sorry about not explaining fully (thought you used bubbles too).
