Good to see someone with a lot of experience, posting what are clearly real-world casting distances.

Too many times, guys claim absurd distances with 3 oz Polaris plugs and other stuff that you know can't go that far unless there's a hurricane behind the guy.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
