What brand 15lb test was on 6500 and what brand/lb test shocker and knots used?
I'm an "average Joe" caster an was happy to hit a Hatteras cast 438' with my 13' AFAW Beach w/7000 ABU, 20lb Cajun (tied to 40lb Ande shock), and an 8oz pyramid sinker on the field here last Sunday
When are you planning to be up in Hampton Roads next for a casting class? My casting improved by attending your last class as I'm keeping my right leg planted and no longer jumping into the cast
In addition to my technique, I think my reel is holding me back some and will attempt to hit it further on the AFAW with my 6500 Blue Yonder and 17lb Suffix Tri. How much difference does smaller diameter line make distance wise?
Lastly, I don't get as near as much power in my cast that you do such that I haven't had a problem breaking off with casting an 8oz w/40lb shock vs the standard 10lb test shock line per 1oz of weight "rule", your thoughts on that?
Thanks for all the info and the you tube video! 611'
