Only true for cheap beachcasters. If you get a decent rod like a Diawa TDXS
or a Zziplex it will throw a lead as far as you are able ( we've covered the
distance isn't everything bit ) and will still detect a pout fart at 100
yds.

So? It means you have to wind in 100 yards to find out whether you
hooked it. Overgunned.

Cheerio,
