You need to make sure your rod, reel, and lure are matched up to get you the distance you are looking for. The rod should be 9 foot or longer and be rated to throw the weight of your popper easily. You need to match them in order to load up the rod, which gives you the distance. Conversely, if you have a shorter, stiff boat rod, it will not give you the distance. And if the lure weight is less than the rod is rated for, it wont load the rod, and wont go very far. So, what is your current set up?
