always use a long drop to the first collector guide on the rod this loads the rod better.but in tight spots like the canal get as long a drop as you can

9ft 1-4 oz lami.
I agree "load" the rod. I flyfish so loading is natural and required action.
the backcast should be stopped at 1-2 oclock [if restricted] and allow the weight/lure to keep going back to load the rod ...if you wait to long before the forward cast you lose the load, to quick and you get slack in the forward cast . try to feel the lure from slack front to back position, think about stopping abruptly at 2oclock back position ...imagine your trying to cast behind you on the back cast , dont allow the body to rotate into the back cast or your just starting without load and using body rotation to power the lure out...push your upper body behind the forward cast and stop at 10-11 oclock ....behold distance....ive used 30lb pp & 20lb fline with great results.
[as long as there is tension throughout the casting stroke it doesnt matter in generaL casting situations what 'oclock' you use]
a 2oz habs pencil popper goes a long way,,,,2oz hopkins

Bill good to see you last night;
went back out across that river where I saw you to the other side... wasnt worth the trip, the rod had been underwater for a long time and probably wasnt worth 20 bucks brand new; caught a few bluefish and went home (again)

Thanks guys , It just seams that there is always one fish out there breaking that is just out of reach.
Hey Lurch how do you like the Abu 7500 big game ? I am useing a penn535mag on the 10 rod I just got and am not very happy with it . I'm thinking of getting another Abu .

The reel is the easiest casting reel I have ever used. I can easily cast a jig half way across the canal. there are many times when a boat is coming through I think there is no way I can cast that far but have to apply the thumb brake so my line does not cross their path. I have the older black 7500 CTC3(I think??) converted to levelwind. The only thing I wish the reel had is instant anti reverse.
I have used a 535 before but I use it as a boat rods with lead core line on it. I used it a few times for casting but could not control the beast......IMO Penn casting conventionals (965/975/955/535) SUCK!
