Good gear is important, but it is 95% technique.
Way back when, when there was a Wasque Point on the Vinyard, me and a buddy were being duly impessed by a guy uncorking some seriously long casts with a 13' rod and an Alvey reel. And then a local came down and did abou 10 yds more with a Lami SSB 130-1(?) and a beat up 706 chock full of 20 lb Trilene XL. The local knew how to cast, hands down.
I've never been able to cast as far as either of them........ sigh
(?)= I forgot what the old S-glass numbers are; they used to be one of the go to blanks at the time. Still got mine....
