Increasing casting distance.

PP take on water? I don't think so. Most Mono's absorbed water creating a
heaver line for a light lure to overcome. Most braided lines do not absorb
water. A silicone coated mono line will not absorb much water. I would stick
with the PP line. Go with a ML 6'6" rod for distance.

The longer rod will help, but switch to mono. The weight of the PP when
wet
will surely affect your distance.

I want to increase my casting distance with light lures (1/16th oz),
using a spinning reel. I'm using a 5' 6" ML rod with a Symmetre 2000
reel and powerpro 10/2. I have 2 ideas. One is to spool my reel as
full as possible. The other is to switch to a longer rod (maybe 6'
6"). I suspect many of you will recommend the longer rod, if so I have
a question. Most 6' 6" rods seem to be rated M or higher. Will a M
action rod work with really light lures? Should I get a ML 6' 6" rod?
I was thinking of the Berkely Bionix (50$ at Walmart).

Thanks!

Chuck.
