It was a great answer. I have fished with Pa. and he does a lot of shore fishing on ponds and lakes and for what I know he fishes, 30' would not be enough.
He does 30 to 40 foot casts.
On streams and creeks I agree totally that 30' is plenty as it is always best to start right in front of you and work your way out.
Again thanks for the answer. On that note, I know several guys the buy DT, then cut it in half which for most lines being 90', that gives them two 45'ers. Frome there they either add Amnesia then backing, or on smaller weight rods, just backing. They are able to get more backing on smaller reels this way, specially with DT being bigger diameter.
