spr1985 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) It's just purely intrigue, I was watching a video of some casting tuition (my casting leaves a little to be desired) and was surprised by some of the things that I saw and heard and where changed to achieve a greater distance for the gentlemen being taught . I just wanted to see a wider selection of set ups to see how they compared and you guys where the perfect group to ask Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 9, 2016 by spr1985 wookiejedi and B.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t30sxh Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) I use big pit reels, 2.75lb 12ft rods, 12lb mono line without a leader, fishing lakes anywhere between 5 and 15 acres. Range....not nearly enough, but probably 90yrds max (with a stringer or small pva mesh). I also fish the margins, typically with a 2.5lb rod, 6010 Baitrunner and 8 or 10lb mono line (can't remember).

pixelmagic Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 1, Daiwa Tournament QDA Big pit2, 15lb Gardner Pro Dark Blend – no leader3, never really taken much notice of actual distance, probably around 70-80 yrds maximum at the minute at a guess.4, Anything from 2 acres to 60 for now.5, 12ft Torrix 3.25 My current setup is massively overgunned for the distance I currently fish, and the size of fish I am fishing for to be honest. However I will be moving onto far bigger waters (100+ acres) soon and I haven't got the storage space or money for multiple setups. When I bought my gear I did so very carefully, with the plan to be able to cover everything Carp fishing would throw at me, be that long distance or margin/surface fishing, snaggy underwater forest or barren clay pit on one setup. So far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Reels. Shimano Bigbaitrunner Longcasts. Line. Sufix Synergy 15lb, no leader. Distance. As appropriate, also frequently down the edge. Size of water. Wherever I choose to go. Unless I'm at Horseshoe, then it enormous. Rods. Greys Prodigies in 3lb test. Custom full cork handles. 12ft.
