| 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 | stef. | 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. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

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 stef. "David H. Lipman" wrote in message news:SYxGe.1376$MW5.585@trnddc08...

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. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
