How long is the average cast?

[pops]

I agree with short casts...
Ive seen BIG bass 20 ft from shore in the wash ...following the edge
of the trough made by wave action 2 ft in front of me !I tried dropping a fly ontop of them! ...then moved 15-20 from the water to cast into the trough!
Ive also caught schoolies on long wind assited casts into the middle of barnegate inlet 100'?
being able to cast long is fun, so I built a shooting head system using 35' airflo heads and 30lb gudebrod running line.
a fast sinking line always shoots furthest [in a wind as well]
then the int and last the floater. BUT the saying "horses for courses" applies to line . you just use whats right for the conditions.
loading the rod is paramount in long casts,so the line weight [overlining] comes into play ,but then its the rod YOU have and the line you like ...
