Right guys having taken some stick for questioning the need to cast 150 yards plus on another forum, i put the question to you. Some of the lads had a days course by Terry Edmonds, a champion tournament caster, is that not a seperate sport, i asked and suggested that i didnt feel that it would improve their fishing, just the opposite. Some of the guys used only running leads as the norm, at 150 yards plus with slack lines and ten percent stretch on there nylon lines, what chance moving the hook far enough to set the hook in varying depths of water with bars and weed in the way. It is not possible to get any freebies that distance so would you cast a lone bait into a hundred or so acres to a rolling fish, not knowing what the bottom was like or the depth, i wouldnt, i play percentages, the odds always lay with the fish on these kind of waters, prebait for up to a mmonth on a feature at reasonable range, knock the feeding off 48 hours before i fish, how about you, chuck the choddy at showing fish or prepare.
