[fishin]Hi Jim,
Your question is really not valid, as there are so many factors that determine casting distance;
The reel's spool and how freely it turns, the number and kind of guides on the rod blank, the type of rod blank, the diameter of the line, the weather conditions, the weight and design of whatever it is you are casting, etc.
The line is just factor of many that determine cast distance.
Fly fishing is the only kind of fishing where distance is primarily a line factor.
That typed, you might be better off asking what is a person's favorite line for baitcasting.
I'm sure you'll find as many favorites as answers you get.
Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference and to get there means trial and error.
Every line type has it's advantages and di
vantages and you will be better off trying them for yourself to see which delivers what you want.
Sorry this isn't an easy answer for you.
