What increases my cast range?

[Sekkuar666]

I have a 56m line equipped but the farther I can throw the float is 17m,
even using the F11 cast.

Which piece of equipment I need to change to make it go far?

I think that you should change the rod. I'm not sure, though.

Three main factors I've seen is rod length (longer = further; use match rod, not telescopic), bobber size, and bait. If you use the longest match rod at your level, you will see a difference. I'm sure there are other factors, but that's how I got mine to cast farther.

oh I see, so it's complicated.

Okay I changed my bobber to a "chubby" one and it increased to 25m

Thanks

If you use a heavy float it will go a little further than the chubby

"Ingredients" for long casts:
- longest possible rod;
- thinnest possible line (for the desired species);
- heaviest possible load (float and bait);
- perfect timing on casting sequence.

Don't forget line type... braid, floro,mono

Well? Which one does what?

[dsullivan60]

Braid=longest floro=next longest mono=shortest

In theory and in your dreams, buddy! Line type never made or makes a difference, because game designers uses line weight as parameter, not thickness. So, with 10 lb. braid you cast as long as with 10 lb. mono or fluoro.

Un-true. Line type matters, but not directly. Line thickness matters, which indirectly makes line type matter.

Galaxy Cast 2.60 - Vortex 7000 - 56 Gram med spoon - 9.1kg/0.23mm braid ---- 53 meters
Galaxy Cast 2.60 - Vortex 7000 - 56 Gram med spoon - 9.1kg/0.5mm fluoro ---- 49 meters

Braid will always allow you to cast further, mono second best, and fluoro the worst. However with bite rates its the exact opposite, fluoro is best, with mono second and braid last. So if distance doesnt matter, always go for fluoro.

Guys, i play(ed) this game since day #1 of Alpha testing. And in old forum (now is gone), one of the first problems i wrote was exactly this one: casting distance has nothing to do with line thickness. And developers confirmed that they are using line weight as parameter. So, no matter what kind of line is (braid, mono or fluoro), the casting distance will be the same, for the same tackle combination.

And honestly, i don't think that something is changed ....
