New to Beach Casting

[Ben]

casting weight is important as well
it needs to be able to cast 5oz
how far do you think you can cast?

about 40 meters ?

the rod you had today wasnt suitable for beach casting i am afraid, i would guess it could cast a max of 2oz, which aint enough really
the rod i was using was the tip from a beach caster

ive got a longer one .. a metal one too . i get a huge weight on mine and cast it miles .. its funny , but enoying because you have to reel it in 24 / 7 .. i use trace's a lot . today , i had 3 hooks coming out of it ,, i put 2 ragworms , and 1 peeler crab

what sort of rod have you got mate. usually if its 12- 13 foot long it's prob a beach caaster.

if your rod is shorter i take it you fish uptide, on a boat. however you can use an uptider on the beach.
