long cast equipment for beach?

From: "noname"

| Hi
| what I'm looking for is the perfect ( yet cheap) equipment to cast as far
| out as possible off a beach . is a spining better that a casting? what
| about the lenght of the rod? should I get a medium/ heavy? I'm thinking of
| gettig a 10' rod , with a spining reel and some spiderwire braided line 30#.
| what do you think.
| I don't have much experience in that kind of fishing.
| thanks

I use a 12' Daiwa Eliminator S1202MHRS whjich is a strong yet very light carbon fiber surf
rod.

I fish light and use 17lb. Stren line on Daiwa Regal S-6000-T spinning reel.

Roughly totaling; $120.00 ~ $130.00

If you saw how far I cast, you may be amazed.

thanks David for your input.
have you ever tried the new type line , like gorilla or spiderwire? 30# and
the diameter of 8#. this might also improve how far you car reach( not that
you need to apparently). I heard it's only good in a spinning reel though.
how far do you think you can cast honestly?
thanks again

No, I haven't tried them. I have been using Stren 17lb. test for a long while and haven't
tried anything else. Maybe one day i'll try Spiderwire. I have heard good things about it
and I have multiple spare reels that I can put Spiderwire on one of them.

With the wind at my back I can cast almost a football field. I haven't really measured a
cast but I almost always outcast my peers and get much feedback from passerby's and other
fishermen. It is handy when there is a school of Blue Fish that are just out of reach of
the others on the beach. Unfortunately, I have to use a leather finger protector on my
index finger or the line cuts into my finger.
