Do You Really Need Longer Rods to Cast Further?
It’s a question almost every carp angler has asked at some point: if you want to fish at longer range, do you need to invest in longer rods?
In this excellent tutorial, Matthew Collins puts that theory to the test. Rather than swapping his tackle, he demonstrates how a few simple changes to his mainline and hookbait setup dramatically increased his casting distance while using the very same 9ft rods, reels and casting technique.
If you’ve ever struggled to reach showing fish or thought a new set of distance rods was the only answer, this video is well worth a watch. You might be surprised at just how much extra range you can achieve without spending a penny on new rods.
