Well that was a complete nightmare - Sony vegas crashed a million times - footage was corrupted and lost. Ended up having to render it in small segments then stitch them together. The camera angles dont show the lures landing - The rods are completely mismatched - But at least there is evidence that I actually tested it. And guess what - I'm 100% correct again - spin gear casts much further than BC gear P.s I've since found out that KVD was talking about casting with 12lb fluorocarbon and he can cast much further than that So I spose all that I learnt is - with my gear and skill set - I can cast further with spin tackle than BC Last edited by yellow door 1; 06-06-2017 at 01:55 AM. |

Well, what can I say? I guess it's irrefutable then, isn't it?

But the fact that I can cast further than the longest caster in the Professional US Bass circuit with my 6'3" medium action spin rod - should give you an idea as to how I got this crazy notion in the first place. |

If you watch the video I posted earlier you'll see that white-polo-shirt guy manages 91m with a BC setup compared to 84m with a spin rod which makes KVD look like he belongs in a ball pit under the supervision of his mother. Granted they only made one cast each and they were using 8ft+rods, but they were far closer to being equivalent in that test. P.S. The BC casts in that video also required far less backswing than the spin gear

I know world record distance casting is done with long rods, tricked out overhead reels and 128gram metal weights. So they definitely do out perform spin tackle when the weight is heavy enough. I just wonder if there is a weight of lure - when the spin tackle becomes more effective at casting for distance. From what I've been reading in the last day or so, The line is "pushed through the guides" while casting a BC as opposed to being "dragged over a lip" in spin casting. The theory suggests that the spinning spool of a bait caster actually throws line after the lure. So in theory, Bait casters should be able to cast further in all weights, as long as you can build up sufficient "oooomph' to get the spool spinning at the right speed. For instance - do you think that a Bait caster could cast a 1/32 jig head further than spin tackle. Or would it take a - a 1/16th - a 1/8th - a 1/4er -or a 1/2 ounce for Baitcasters to start achieving better distances in ideal conditions. Last edited by yellow door 1; 06-06-2017 at 02:10 AM. |

How many baitcasters have you tried so far? and what price ranges?
The better reels cast a hell of a lot better and further than the cheaper reels on the same rod. |

I'll borrow a better reel from a mate and run it through its paces - thanks for the tip. Last edited by yellow door 1; 06-06-2017 at 04:39 AM. |

This time it will be a head to head test - same braid - same rod - same weight - same caster |

Try using a range of weights if you can. You'll find that spools optimised for finesse applications may not cast heavier weights as well and vice-versa. The new SV spools are surprisingly versatile, from what I hear, and can handle a wider range of weights.

My rod claims to be able to cast 1/4 to 5/8ths - so I'll stretch to 3/4ers - but I dont know if I should go hell for leather with a full ounce |
