Daiwa slosh 20, 18lb Daiwa sensor main line, connected with a bimini twist to 60lb trilene shocker, pully rig with 15lb rotten bottom attached to a gene clip.
Takes me all my time to snap out if properly fast up.
He was asking peoples preference at distance not 'blasting weights out', distance is achieved through technique and not pure power, i fish cliffs/rocks on my own occasionally with my bro so there is never anyone around and i have never had a crack off, if i was going to 'blast weights out' i would use a shockleader. After all its common sence.
Read it properly!
It says he's thinkn of blasting weights out at distance and wants to know what lads set ups are who fish at distance
If you use the set up you mentioned to fish at distance then one day you will cause someone an injury and it'll prob be your bro if that's who you fish with
I know exactly how distance is achieved thanks
Pop down to the tournament field and we'll watch your technique casting at distance with your 30lb line straight through
30lb straight through and a clipped pennel pulley.
accident waiting to happen if you are power casting that set up mate , unless obviously you are using a 2 oz sinker and big bait, either that or you are not putting full power and body rotation into ya cast, i know if i were to do that i would defo have a crack off
Had a bit of a practice a couple of months ago and, using the footy pitch at school as a guide, found I could lob it about 110 yards without a hook and, therefore, bait and that's with a 7oz sinker and 60lb line, straight through.
In all my years of fishing I've only ever come away beaten by the distance once and that was at the Astley Arms, high tide, trying to hit the hole which was......112 yards away lol.
Had I waited an hour or two I'd have been OK but high tide is a, relatively, novel experience for us in the NE and I left with my tail between my legs as the big casters brought in a fish a chuck.
On most of the NE coast the tangles are well within 100 yards and yes you can win comps, usually in poor conditions, by winging it 200 yards (and I wish I could) but most often the fish are at your feet. If you're thinking of guys on this board may I remind you that in the recent NvS comps and the NESA comps my brother Rod has had 2 heaviest fish (casting no more than 60 yards with 30lb main line) and I've caught more than the whole South team, catching within 60 yards.
There you go - a thread devoid of loads of fishing terms that include technical terms that not only involve considerable skill, putting them together but also knowledge and expense.
Hope it encourages others to fish simply.
