:roll: fixed reel, long distance casting
Is it possible or not, is anyone out there hitting 150 with a fixed spool or not. Or is this just a stupid bloody question."its impossible"?
12 foot still rod, reel with a good long barrel and a big bloody muck savage like myself after a feed of Bacon and cabbage behind it ,with fair skill.
do people pendulum wit h fixed reel.

my friend is a novice angler and on our last fishing expedition he asked me to cast his lead, he is using a shimano stratic surf beach caster and a expensive enough shimano reel which is fixed spool. Cant remember the model but holy shizen i was casting the same distance with it as my expensive 13ft daiwa rod and mag elite multiplier it is an excellent set up.

yes it is possible to cast 150 yards with a fixed spool set up. multiplier only has advantage with wind behind and clipped down rigs(usually only a one hook). mags /breaking can then be backed off, giving it the edge and some shockin distances!!!
