Cast Style?

One more on a baitcaster...Shimano Calcutta's are what I use 400 & 700 series on St. Croix rods. The 700 without levelwind casts unbelieveably far. Get it set right, use an "educated thumb" and it really flies. Woohoo going to Hatteras in a few days!!!!! 8)

I jusy use a Abu Garcia baitcaster and 7' medium rod most times for "surf" fishing. Its just standard trout gear around here, nothing heavy at all. However, surf fishing around here is nothing like I see those dressed up wader wearing yankees on tv doing. ::)

Surf fishing to me is just walking the beach and casting out 50 yards or so to feeding reds, specks or flounder that feed close to shore. ;)


I can sling my baitcaster farther than any of the snow birds I see down here with the "surf gear" setups during the spring though, if that counts. 8)

I use a Shimano Bait Runner for my spinnig, and have Shimano Calcuttas for conventional ( I love these reels, I have a 200, I have 3 400's and a 700)

You know, I've always wanted to hop up one of my Abu's, just havne;t done it yet. Have you had a chance to let fly in a field or anything yet?
