As an aside, I have been fishing for 25 odd years (31 now) and measuring my biggest cast at the local oval was one of the most humbling experiences I have done haha. Can confirm I am a 60odd meter castScraglor wrote:Jesus, 220kg is a monstrous bench. 220kg or 220lb? Impressive numbers. Anyhow, when ur casting 100+ mtrs, I think technique is probably the biggest factor in your distance. Shall we get the convo back on track?
I've never measured mine on an oval but it wouldn't surprise me if it was about 60m or so. Distance is deceptive over the waterScraglor wrote:As an aside, I have been fishing for 25 odd years (31 now) and measuring my biggest cast at the local oval was one of the most humbling experiences I have done haha.

220kg, absolute beast of a bench but it's what he doesScraglor wrote:Jesus, 220kg is a monstrous bench. 220kg or 220lb? Impressive numbers. Anyhow, when ur casting 100+ mtrs, I think technique is probably the biggest factor in your distance. Shall we get the convo back on track?
We need to have another FV member get together, that's all. Lolgreggo wrote:Interesting...Fish-cador wrote:Lol. Who can p1ss higher? Lol
Mind a spin off this sunday? 6pm ok?
I believe they are talking with lures so that would be almost the same as just casting sinkers with the main difference being a larger profile for any given weight and also the possibility of spinning through the air.piscateur wrote:If you want to hit 100m or more consistently using Mono, (talking about fishing ie with bait, not just a sinker as in casting comps) you would need a shock leader for casting and probably around 12-15lb main line for a spinniing reel. Having heavier mainline severely decreases your distance on spin reels especially.

Have used braid also, but personal preference is for mono. No issues casting 100+ meters with mono.
Happy to meet to see the proof.
Yeah, was just the massive call by Fish-cador of not being able to cast 100m+ using spin gear and mono. Ive seen many do it with mono spinning or with bait.mazman wrote:I believe they are talking with lures so that would be almost the same as just casting sinkers with the main difference being a larger profile for any given weight and also the possibility of spinning through the air.
