What are the different types of casting in fishing?
In this article we will explain five different casting techniques to use on your next fishing trip.

How do you cast with a Penn?
Flip open the bail on the Penn reel. Bring the rod and reel over your shoulder in a casting motion, and then bring it forward. Release the line from your index finger when the rod tip moves beyond your shoulder. Close the bail once the lure hits the water and then begin reeling it in.
Do longer rods cast farther?
A longer rod will give you a longer cast. It’s really that simple. If power and action are the same, generally speaking, a 7-foot rod will cast the same lure farther than a 6-foot rod. Now if the lure is light, like 1/8 ounce, it can be a little more managable on a softer shorter rod than a longer rod.
Does braid cast further than mono?
Braid proved to be the better choice compared to traditional monofilament line in terms of casting distance for both experiments. The first test with a heavier weight showed a 7% advantage to the braid. And the updated test with wet lines that were both newly spooled showed a whopping 30% advantage for the braid.
