That is a big difference for only a bit longer rod. I get about 50-70m on my 9ft rod using 30-50gm metals. Maybe my casting sucks...Sinsemilla wrote:6'6 is too short for land based in my opinion. I can get 50m casts with metals using 15lb braid and 20lb leader with a 7ft rod

Re: Braid to mono/fluro knots
I get close to 50m with a 7ft Nitro baby viper rod, 2500 size daiwa reel, 15lb braid and a 20-30g metal.
Knowing how to load up a rod when casting does help with casting distance. Also if the lure is too heavy or too light for the rod you wont get good distance either
