I have seen some impressive casts as well, I think the choice of equipment is key to begin with. Plug choice, line, rod , reel and technique all have to be spot on to get 2/3's the way across. Three quarters is quite an accomplishment. I used to cast more than halfway with a jig on my breakaway 1209 with 65 lb braid, not anymore, in fact I have not landed a fish in the canal this year.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

My set up when I just started was a Ugly stick 9 foot with a Penn 6500ss and 50 pound Power Pro, that set up could cast a 2 to 3 oz plug very far |
