casting is getting better and further. For comparison I brought along
my spinning rig with a wooden plug- still able to cast much further
with the spinning reel and more accurately.


You never said what type of casting reel you are using or what type rod
it's
mounted on. That would make a difference in your ability to cast
acurately
as well as for distance.. It might be that your using a cheaper or older
baitcaster. Technology has come a long way, but it's not cheap. My next
reel
will most likey be a Diawa ventro? I saw this reel the other day and it
has
a sweet little jigging button right over the spool, just tap it with your
thumb and it reels up a bit of line, looks great for pulling in slack and
working worms and jigs, roughly around 200.00

Yes, earlier in the thread I stated it's a Shimano open faced spinning
reel with fighting drag-

and now that you ask, it is an Abu Garcia graphite rod.

But, what kind of Abu Garcia graphite rod? What is the power rating, what
is the line rating, what is the lure weight range and is it a moderate, fast
or extra-fast taper? All that information should be on the label of the
rod.

Now, what brand and model of baitcast reel?
