i recently got a penn powerstix 15'9 rod and use a abu 6500 power handle reel,
i seem to be getting the same distance with this as i do with my sandstorm rod and fixed spool reel.
would it have anything to do with the fact that it has a level wind fitted or are rods that size not suited to an
over head thump type of cast.
any answers or tips are more than welcome....thanks
