Thanks. I practiced yesterday and still only got 5 ounces to cast little more than 100 feet. Two hundred feet sounds better, but the seller tells me people routinely cast two hundred yards and that's ordinary and not top athletes setting records which is much further by a lot.
After practice casting, I put it away to fish with my tiny seven foot pole and easily cast about one ounce in a bubble float out past two hundred feet.
This pole is stout and stiff and strong premium quality construction of carbon fiber. If I can load it up, it sure seems to make sense that it can store the energy to sling that five ounce weight 200 yards. It says right on it 3 to 7 ounce, so 5 should be what it will cast best.
My guess is there is a technique that I need to watch and study.
