USE THE RIGHT ROD:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are many different types of long-range rods on the market so deciding on what you need is hard to know if you are not an experienced angler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When trying to increase your casting distance the rod you use is the most important piece of equipment due to the fact that the rod gives the leverage too actually propel the weight with which you do when casting. The best rods for distance casting are expensive but do not be fooled, some cheaper rods actually have an excellent casting length so don\u2019t think you will have to spend large amounts of money just to cast further into the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rods come in different strengths and lengths, when looking to get a long-range rod you should not go under an 11-foot rod but a 12 or 13-foot rod will provide an extra few yards of distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now for the strength of the rod, 3 \u00be lb test curve rods are the best for the job as you can apply a lot of force on the cast and they will not snap because they have a very strong backbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Test curve is just the measurement anglers use to determine the strength of a rod<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0If you\u2019re an angler looking to hit 100 yards +, we\u2019d recommend that you purchase a rod with a test curve of 3.5lb or more. These powerful rods will also often feature, high tech blanks which help the rod return very quickly to its original position after the cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rods below this test curve can still cast incredibly far, but your best bet if casting serious distances are the rods with the higher test curves. Another advantage to stronger rods is that when playing a bigger fish you can put more strain on the rod without having to worry about snapping it. Evidently stronger and more powerful rods are more expensive than other rods but don\u2019t pay a ridiculous price for something as you can buy great quality rods for a decent price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However there is a trade-off, stronger rods bend less, this means in fights you feel you have less control of the fish and it takes a lot of force to get a healthy fighting curve in your rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another feature that you often find in these rods is very large Butt guides, often 50mm in diameter, the size us the Butt guides mean that line is able to flow smoothly off the spool with little to no resistance enabling maximum casting range.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KEEP YOUR ARMS STRAIGHT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUsing proper form will also increase your casting distance, by keeping your arms straight, you’re able to produce the maximum amount of leverage and propel the rig further. It does take some practice but once you achieve the correct form, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your casts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THROW ALL YOUR WEIGHT INTO YOUR CAST:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo reach extreme distances, you have put a lot of force behind your casts. Start by leaning back and as stride forward to cast, transition your body weight to your front foot and throw all your weight behind the cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STRIDE FOWARD:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn most scenarios, stepping into your cast should be fine, but when fishing at a very long range, you need to really push into your casts by striding forward as you angle the rod which will propel the rig just that little bit further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
