longest casting spinning reel

[Mike P]

A Saltiga will cast with any reel with the right guide set-up.

In side by side testing with an EmPro on an old COF guide set up, the difference was marginal averaged out over a dozen casts on each--less than 10 yards. If you go with a more modern lay-out you'll get better distance. From most reels.

I think the rod, lure weight /shape and your casting technique are almost all of the factors in a cast. But you need line capacity.

I don't fish the canal but bought a Century FMJ for some other places. I was into my backing on some casts with my current reels - so I bought a Shimano Albrid c14 and now have 300 yards on a spool that will not create friction. Its a Japanese Domestic model reel - if it breaks I got a problem- But so far its been great and matches up well with the rod.
