Default Increasing casting distance.

The reason you are seeing an increase in casting distance as the line gets
wetter is a decrease in line resistance thru the guides. This will apply to
mono as well as super lines.
Also the better that the guides are will help in reducing said resistance.
JMHO!

The longer rod will help, but switch to mono. The weight of the PP when

wet
will surely affect your distance.


I swear it seems that my distance actually goes up significantly after
a few casts. Maybe the wet line goes through the reel easier. Or maybe
its my imagination. I wonder what is considered to be a good distance
for 1/16th of an ounce? Maybe I'm already getting about the max.
