hi folks,
wondered what you think about off-the-ground casting with a rod and reel more suited to lighter beach fishing? i'm looking to improve my distance and cover a wider range but for the moment my equipment is not ideally suited to surf casting style.
i have a beastmaster 11ft heavy bass spinning rod (!?) with a tica 4000 reel, my rig is set up at the moment with 14lb mainline and 22lb leader casting weights between 2 and 3oz. until i get myself more suited tackle i'm hoping to learn a bit about casting in this way. is it even advisable to attempt otg with this set up, is there a chance of damaging my rod? or should i stick to an overhead thump - i'm defo not going to try a pendulum
