It's a good hit that however a bit unorthodox how you stand and cast which is testament to your hand speed tbf. 👍

I was over 180 with a tail wind and 0.33 line and a rig on with 0.42 mono leader the other week. That's was with a 12mm bait on. The 16mm bait went 170+yds.


Its a massive cast with a rig on that very few ever get to (without a rig on) however I wish you good luck with your quest...👍👍

....You won't because you have your wrong foot forward. If you are a right handed caster you using a single step should have your weight on your right foot with your feet close together you then step with your left then cast.

Because you have your left foot back behind your right it's stopping you from arching your back, getting your weight on your right root and getting the rod flat at the start.
The way you are casting you are virtually starting at 45 degrees behind which is massively reducing your casting 'stroke'. Its also making you finish the cast witht he rod pointing too low.
