Looking for long casting tips

Also looking for recommendations for a medium cost spinning reel that
would allow me to cast further. I don't snag often so i don't want to
invest more than I have to.

You can't go wrong with a Daiwa Regal-Z ($50) or a Regal-X ($30-40) or a
similar price Shimano. I assume you are aware that, all other things being
equal, the bigger diameter spool will cast the longest. A titanium coated
spool lip may help in reducing friction. I don't know offhand about lip
coatings on the reels I mentioned. Of course, a terrible quality reel can
cast long, so you might also want to look at factors other than the casting
distance.

Good luck.
