63' if rod is spiral wrapped as well

Now you just blew my mind.

A single 100% ceramic bearing costs more than some reels. Plus a bait of a given weight, mass and profile will only fly so far. There's nothing to be gained on the water with anything more than is available now.

add an ABEC9 rated bearing to the equation and it becomes ridiculous , some go for $190 each bearing !!! .......

Yeah, but the less friction, the better. If you were to put a small cup on the end of the perfect to for a certain bait (like a lacrosse stick), and then put that bait in there without any line, or reel for that matter, and casted it, it would fly much further than what it ever would tied to a reel. That's why super slick ceramic guides, ultra precise ceramic bearings lubed as lightly as possible, and light, slick line are so important when it comes to casting distance. The more you reduce friction, the further it flies. Obviously the aerodynamic properties of the bait itself plays a role, so will a spinnerbait with 5 blades fly much further with upgraded bearings? Probably not substantially. Will a lipless crank? Absolutely. We all agree that the ease of casting improves, so with the appropriate bait, so will distance. It's science. I can totally science a plug across the lake now
