Hi Trout hunter it is 15 feet in length. I found this cast can send a bait out quite a long way and the short drop helps with this cast. I usually have the weight behind me as close to the ground as possible. I noticed a difference in distance when i first used this cast :) looks a bit weird while doing it but it works :lol:
