If one can cast somewhere in the 180 -190 metres then quite obviously there is some power developed in ones casting technique. Why is it that I can cast that distance and use 30lb leader and have no break offs.
Irrespective of the technique used the distance cast has a direct correlation to the amount that the rod is loaded.
So which is putting more strain on the line. The round the corner thumper who cast 180 or the pendulun caster who casts 150m.
30lb works for me Mark and it is very safe so struggle to come to grips with some of your thoughts.
