Opened my eyes up at the different rods, reels and casting styles but enjoyed it and will go again so now on the look out for a rod of around 14' for casting as opposed to my 16' Triplex. So, how far did I manage I hear u ask: I was constantly at 160 metres with the best at 163m/178yds. I could probably do better with more compression, reel down the butt and a more refined casting style but it's a start and not too bad with ...

Would greatfully receive any advice on the subject.
I spend a great deal of the summer fishing the Burton and Cogden beat. I do well for Bass close in but I'm damned if I can get to the Sole and plaice.
