How do you get a popper out 80+ yards from shore?

How far you let your plug hang down from the tip mixed with line diameter and how your rod loads makes all the differnce. It is different for all rods and anglers.Only adjust one fearure at a time so you know when you have that feature tuned in.As you work each to it's best then you will start to feel the diff in your rod as it loads better.Go to the same place so you know how far the plug lands as you get things tuned in better.Dressed tail hook or undresed makes a difference. Treble or siwash,reel spool diameter and line all play a part.Rod length verses capability ie 10 to 25 lb, med to heavy all will play a part. as you practice with it you will feelthe difference and things will feel easier then all of a sudden you'll be doing it with little or no effort.80 yrds is very doable,100 is within reason and 120in time. Just remeber you will start to feel it in your cast as things come into balance.Practice with a plug you don't care if you loose or not. Beaters are good for this.Tech makes all the diff.
