Just been out this evening and had to use my little light rod (7' 5g-20g) as car door decided it didn't like my other heavier rod and kicked the crap out of it.
Just wondering what sort of distance you would expect form a small rod of this weight. Was using 12.5g, 14g and 18g lures. When I'd finished fishing I had a few casts on the sand and paced them out.
Furthest casts were as follows -
12.5g = 31 paces
14g = 30 paces (slightly bulkier lure than the 12.5g one)
18g = 38 paces
No wind so nothing to affect distances, 15lb braid, Shimano Exage 2500. The rod is just a cheapy RT jobby, medium to fast action.
Are these poor, reasonable or good distances on a light rod ?
