Rods like Thora, jigwinner, loki are the probably the ones that will let you cast longest (the longest version of these). The weight of the lure is also a factor, using heavier lure often results in a longer cast, as long you are with in the lure weight limits of your rod.īraided line will also help you to cast a bit further. The amount of guides on the rod is also a factor, more guides = more friction and results in a shorter cast. If my bites started to drop off I adjusted in other direction until I found a sweet spot for what I was fishing for.Originally posted by Jeppe:The general rule is the longer the rod is, the further you can cast. Any testing with different leader lengths and baits that I did for results was very minimal, and more like small adjustments based on fish type and size. Now this is all just theory based on my real fishing knowledge and experience, and how I apply it in the game. Depending on leader length you can shrink or enlarge the “radar” circle of the fishing spot that you made your cast to.
Longer leader means more run around room to “evade” naturally, or shorter leader to control movement of the bait. Same applies if you’re using live bait like shiners or minnows. Sometimes this can help with the fish actually taking the bait, but this also increases the chance that the fish will drop the bait and you wouldn’t have even felt it.
So, for instance a 36 inch leader(sorry for not using metric, but I use imperial) will give the fish 36 inches from the fixed point of your sinker, as long as it’s heavy enough, to swim freely with the bait and not feel the tension. The theory that I follow for bottom rods is depending on how long you make the leader, you give the fish a certain amount of run around room before actually putting tension on the line.
