Wind......

Sure this sort of question must have been asked before but can't find anything so please humour me....
I know there are other variables but if you are casting 200 yards with no wind at all how many yards might you roughly expect to lose with a 10mph headwind?
Ben

there are a lot of variables such as line diameter, weight size and height of cast, size of bait.

is that 200 yds with a plain lead on a field. even that may only go 160-170 yds into a 10mph headwind.

despite what people claim there are very few on here who can do 200yds.

250yds can only be done by a couple on here.

bollox to the question, im just fixating on your avatar mate..........

she is nice

Ummmmmmm biscuits? That avatar made me forget what i was going to say

Nice pic, beats the last pic you sent me.

Cheers for the reply. I aint one of them that can do 200. Bought a measuring wheel so pretty accurate when I went out today which is only about the thrid time I have cast over grass, with the wind reckon I'm between 140 and 150, probably nearer 140 which I'm quite pleased with to be honest. Will give crack off colin a shout before too long, hopefully can add 30 - 40 yards without too much problem. (Famous last words).

looks like you found out how to multuquote again

Yep, some nice chap set me straight.

Ah Ben so no pressure then!

PM coming....

Yep agree with BB a lot of things effect range including air pressure and in my case age. Sometimes when coaching I sort out an anglers style and all of a sudden he gains 30 to 50 yds and he is young and strong and he puts his lead further than I can but you have to accept that is the way it goes as you get older!!!!!

Been a long time since I have been in a field to cast my PB was 30 years ago at the old Budmouth school grounds which was 220yds nothing fantastic but the gear was different in those days. I have always been a fishing caster rather than a caster caster!

However there are a lot of anglers who think they fish at 150 yds with bait they would be disappointed if it was measured. I still maintain that any "Angler " that can put a bait 120 yds time after time or so is in the top 10% of casting anglers although some would disagree with that.

At the end of the day distance is a weapon you can use if wanted but there are plenty of fish sub 100 yds!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, a lot of anglers are adamant they are fishing over 150yrds, I'd be surprised if I could hit that on the beach with two worm baits.

Iv seen you do it many a time boyo, shame they've not remained attached though!

I can cast over 200yards on grass, brads seen it with his own eyes but i can hardly hit 60yards with double whole squid or 2 dozen hurms on a pully. Put that into a head wind and i struggle to make the water from the top storm shelf!
