LurknandJerkn

Guys, it’s all about the math. Cast a lure, count the cranks on the way in, and multiply by your gears retrieval rate. For example, I was casting a 1/2oz spinner bait with a 3.8” trailer just this morning, and I cranked 72 times. My retrieval rate is 26” per turn. 72x26=1,872 inches, 1,872/12 ipf = 156ft, 156ft /3 fpy = 52 yards. I should note, this is a brand new rod and reel. 7’4” St. Croix BassX MH/MF with a Curado DC 6.2 on setting 2. I should be able to increase this by 5-10 yards easily with a little more practice, and the reel on setting 1 for max distance.
