What ever drop ya feel comfortable with mate try different length when ya casting and you will find the one you feel is right for you some will have a 2 foot drop and some will have it sorter
When it comes to casting you dont have to hit it hard to get distance. -
i use a 10ft rod but have a drop about half the length from tip to reel seat... and i use 6lb line with a 12lb length of "leader" and can put a 40g spinner 80-100yrds i would say on a good day.
My rods a old ron tompson thing, but it bends to the butt, love it too much to upgrade yet
Oh, and a little hint if your fishing into a headwind, a shorter drop and let go later in your cast to send it lower/more directComment
