Having the right line will help with distance, but it is just part of the equation. The right line matched with the right action of rod (er, pole of you insist) and practicing the single and double haul casts will get your line out where you want it (even in wind). On a fast action rod you can get away with a double taper and overlining (using a weight heavier). I am using a 6 wt double taper on my 5 wt XP and I can throw it as far if not farther than the WF 5 line I had on it before.
