afishyfish 4 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hey adamibinfishin, you dont find the friction caused by the level wind reducing casting distance ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shark_Fisho 1 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 They cast excellent, run a 30T on my GF540 and it casts an abosolute mile. Run it down Salt Creek, FWC etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shark_Fisho 1 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 My 30T's a non-level wind. Prefer usin them over levelwind reels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamibinfishin 224 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 howdy afishyfish,they cast excellent mate and friction is minimal,what shark fisho said is correct aswell about level winds.they can cut down casting distance but in experienced hands this is minimised when spool tension is set correct and the angler is prepared to give them a good rip when casting.practice is whats required and good technique.hope this helps,cheers.

Shark_Fisho 1 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Nothing wrong wid Levelwind reels for casting in the surf thats why so many people use 7000, 9000 and 10000s for jewies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
