Casting distance.....how important is it?

[ReelinRod]

I fish New Jersey and in the Southern part of the state the beaches are very flat. Distance is everything on some days.

I have for the last 25+ years cultivated and refined equipment to have a couple set-ups that are at the cutting-edge extreme of casting performance. Today's Japanese Domestic Market reels, the high modulus, zoned action carbon rods and ever evolving braided lines have put so much more water and structure into play.

There are days when the longcast stuff stays in the rack and other days it has saved the trip.
