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.

best results on the sea for long casting also used in critical
conditions (high waves) are obtained with 2 pieces 12/13feet very
strong long casting rods like these (for example, you can find this
kind of rods in brands like Daiwa, Century, Penn, ) that require
special techniques of casting (ground, pendulum) and are used with
0.35mm diameter line and a 0.70/0.80mm shock leader (both nylon) with
4/6oz lead weights and are usually used with casting reels like Daiwa
7ht or Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 C3.


can you believe a weight of 5 or 6oz sent to 300yards distance?!


13' rod with a third of a pound of weight. Starting to sound like a
mini trebuchet.
