Pool Practice
I high suggest this to every newbie One thing most people will see is they move their baits to much and will actually pull their bait away from the fish. What they believed to be small movements were actually large movements.

Re: Baitcast reel for 1/4 oz rig for long distance
I will not buy a rod I can't put my reel on and string up the lure I plan on using with it. I choose this rod because it belonged to a friend and I had fished with it before I bought it from him. It has a strong butt section require for moving fish in heavy cover yet has enough tip to cast smaller baits. It is my belief that casting distance/accuracy has more to do with the rod than the reel. The salt water anglers I beat were using 7' 6 rods with Curado's & ½ oz weights but they were over powering the rods. I let my rod do the casting that is what it is designed for; the same with fighting a fish you have to let the rod along with the reels drag fight the fish.

Re: Baitcast reel for 1/4 oz rig for long distance
There is lot most people don't know about this Cajun I participate for distance/accuracy not trick casting; we are allowed to use any rod, reel, line, and lure. This is not the same as it's done in Europe; this is totally using basic salt water and fresh water tackle simulating fishing conditions. My last 3 wins were with a ¼ oz bullet weight and a 6 worm against two salt water guys throwing ½ oz lead heads with cocoho grubs. We are judged on distance/accuracy at 5 different distances from 25 yards out to 75 yards and one cast of just distance. You score points by coming closest to a target that is 18 in diameter and surrounded with some type of cover. We are awarded 3 points for each hit inside the target, 1 points for outside the target, and 5 point for the longest distance. My church puts this on annually, we have as many as 50 competitors from across the nation, I should have four in a row but last year was canceled because of hurricane Rita. Each year the winners name is added to the trophy, last year the winner was Rita!
