Hello all,
I haven't fished in a long long time.
I have an old Leeda Riptide beachcaster. It is carbon and the tip seems fairly stiff.
I always used to hoof out a 6 ounce weight and 3 flappers but my distance was poor with the reels I had.
The reels I have seem good but are really only medium sized spinning reels and not suitable for distance work.
I was wondering if I got something like a Mitchell LC 8000 or Grauvell Zeus reel, would it make much difference to the distance I can cast with the old Leeda Riptide beachcaster.
Basically I don't have the cash to splash on both a new reel and rod so I would just like to update to a proper reel but ONLY if it will increase my casting distance with the Leeda Riptide.
Any info appreciated and thanks in advance.
