"Thanks fellas, I was casting 20-30 yards with a 1/2 or 1/4 ounce jig yesterday, caught one small bass but wasn't really trying. "

They do take a lot of practice..and I have bought a funky baitcaster before..{It was used} It casted 20 feet max.[:'(]

Something to note..
You need to match the right lure to the right line..

I use a light 6 inch worm with a split shot.alot.so my 10 pound Suffixand 15 pound Power Pro. { 6 lb diameter} worked great today..When fishing this light set -up..any line heavier would be a backlash..

I use my baitcasters with the heavier line { 14 pound Suffix} for the heavier lures such as crankbaits and jigs..
