they said that if you wanna cast further you need a longer rod!
true?
nope
false?
no either.
when it comes to fishing there r no such think as the perfect set. every reels and rods has its both advantages and disadvantages. in other word longer rod may not allow you to cast to the desirable distance.
examples : if you r planning on jigging with light lures.....which actually weight about 1/4 ounce or so. so you went to a tackle shop and you asked for the dealer how can you cast further. the first thing those jackasses said would be.........get a longer rod preferably those 12ft or more. you took the dealers advise and bought that hunka junk. becoz they give you.......about 10-20% discount....................all I can say is......you r an idiot!!!
dude.......its not that simple when it comes to choosing the right rod for the type of fishing you r planning to do.
take it from me
the next time you folks plan on getting a new rod. keep this two point in mind.....
For the record who ever of you think that this prize, length, strength, brand etc are the point to consider when buying a rod. you r so wrong!!!
this here ----->" prize, length, strength, brand etc " r for idiots to read.!!!
now the two point when choosing a rod.
1. make sure the rod is in great condition. no tear, no scatch, no nada!
2. this is important.......ready? is its action type!!!
there r at least 4 action class....it goes slow, medium, medium fast and fast.......
now action refers to how much of the rod deflects (bends) when you put pressure on the tip. look below.....

slow action rod allow anglers to cast lighter lure further than other medium rods. but sucks at setting hook and makes it difficult to landing your catch.... whereas a medium fast to fast has more strength in it allowing the angler more control over the fight. but the downside however...........lets just say rigging a light lure to a medium fast rod is a horribly stupid idea. you can't possibly cast far with it. the most I guess you'll probably be able to cast about 12-20m away from you. don't worry no hope is lost. instead of using light lure switch to a heavier and more robust lure....... that should give you the distance you are looking for.
conclusion is that to be able to cast further into the surf you don't necessary need a longer and more expensive rod and reel. it all depend on what kind of fishing r you doing or planning
for the record.....my junk pinnacle inertia finesse baitcaster, beats banax GMC400 and daiwa lexa 100 when it comes to casting long distance.
hehehehe who said expensive merchandise r better than cheap stuff. my pinnacle inertia finesse baitcaster RM110 only!!!

Ok.
