Casting distance

Accuracy and control wins over distance everytime.

Distance may look somewhat impressive, without accuracy and control it's worth nothing.

It takes rod, line and a caster to perform all three, each is interesting in its own way. One day I hope I'll somewhat get a hang of all three and be able to combine them in a single cast.

Nope. Line weight, rod length, no matter...just learn how to cast.

You keep hoping, though.

Given proper equipment, the secret to long casts is practice to get timing correct and a good double haul... and more practice.

I can cast just fine for my needs, thank you. It don't hurt to get better at something you enjoy doing. Must be boring knowing everything on the topic.
