Bill Selkirk (Scott) and I went to the local soccer field today to measure the distance we could cast with the tackle we use to cast for yellowtail from the boat.
We tried three different outfits, with my normal tin spinner which weighs about 70 gr and measured the distances with a range finder.
8ft exage spinning, stradic 6000 and 50 lbs braid, over the last 6 months I have landed 188 tail on this outfit - best 3 casts 88m 91m 96m
10ft exage spinning, stradic 6000 and 30 lbs braid - best 3 casts 104m 107m 110m
10ft exage coventional, torium 20 and 35 lbs mono - best 3 casts 85m 92m 94m
Scott with the coventional outfit got 95m 101m 105m, he also tried a 160 gr lucas type spinner and got 102m 110m 117m
