I have been trying to cast some heavier lures using this exact setup. Rod: SALTIST HYPER STICKBAITER S792-4/6 --> PE 4-6, Cast weight (60-120g), 8 ft length. Reel: 21 Daiwa Saltist MQ 20000 spooled with 60lb braid. I have been trying to cast some stick baits in the 80-100g range and I have only been getting ~30m in casting distance. On youtube, I've seen people cast at least 50-60m using similar setups... What do you guys think the problem is? On lighter setups, I have no trouble getting good distance with my casts. So I do not think my casting technique is super horrible (although it's not wonderful) to make such a big difference. Cheers.

Hey, I've just picked up a rod and reel for beach fishing - A shimano coltsniper BB 10'6" MH and Diawa saltist MQ 5000D-H. I had a couple hours down at a local beach over the weekend with no luck, I was looking for deeper pools / gutters which I seemed to be hitting and I was using 65g metal lures. . At a guess I'd say I was casting no farther than 50-60m? My question is do people tend to cast much further out past that sand bar to deeper water or is it generally the closer to shore gutters that are going to be more successful? Cheers

What can be done to stop prevent wind knots, I got a whole bunch yesterday on a new reel. Was really frustrating. I'd cast and half way through the cast, 3 strands would come flying off n get twisted up.

Went prawning with Robbie and Steve yesterday we left redland bay ramp finding the boats and finding the prawns. Some of our 1st casts had great numbers of prawns in the top pocket of our nets. We worked around the area with Robbie the skipper putting us on the good shows. Some casts had 20 to 30 prawns which brought big smiles and the odd YOU BEAUTY. I think we did really well and had the other boats following us. I tried telling others nothing to see here no prawns here but they were onto us. I must thank Robbie and Steve for their patience as I had to cancel the morning session as work got in the way. The midday session ended by 2pm with our bag limit of 2 bucket of prawns. My share of prawns I cooked 2 kg in sea water with a good squeeze of honey and will peel the rest for prawn meals like curried or chilly prawns with rice. No need to line up in shops to get a feed here mmmmmmmm tasty prawns.

To the “fisherman” who was attempting to fish by the river this morning. Please pass on your fishing equipment to a mate, hand in your manhood and go and buy a set panties in your favourite colour, I’m assuming this will be pink. Not only did your cast miss the water by a country mile, you managed to get it onto the bridge. It was my pleasure to clean up your mess. Nothing like having fishing line running across your neck while riding a bike at 30 km/hr. Guess it was my good fortune that you were using a light line and it snapped before the tackle ripped my neck open. To the other true fishermen out there, tight lines.
