I use Abu 6600's and 6500 and will probably never change but was wondering what yall prefer. Some of my buds use quality spinning reels and can match me in distance. For longest cast what's your go to reel?

Abu 6500!!!With a little tweaking you can easily out cast a spinning reel.

That's what you think....

What's the line capacity and drag resistance on an Abu 6500?

All the long cast records are held by Abu-Garcia baitcaster reels!!

I put a whole spool of 30 lb braid on my 6500, I think it's 300 yds but not for sure, it's at least 200. Drag can be set to 15 lbs I believe not sure of resistance. I can easily cast 60 to 80 yards, could cast further if I put say a 3 oz weight on. I don't like useing 3's. Usually use 2's and even 1's if possible.

True..... but 7000's on Custom One Piece Rods

And its not a stock 7000. Those things are loaded with the finest parts.

Holy shhh wth is that.

Its a banana

Cheater -haha that's pretty cool.

lol! To cool!

Dang man are you pulling these pics off the web or do you really have this stuff.

Do it unassisted!?!?!?I can!!!I can cast my 6500c3CT 215 yards on a store bought 12' $39.99 rod.

baitcasters all the way for me. grew up on them and spinning gear just feels wierd in my hands!

What ever you say Jim! I was eager to participate in your lil cast off at the grapevine tourney. Where did ya go????

Anytime you want to throw against me,name the time and place.Just bring cash to bet with!!!It was not my castoff it was DCM's.It's all good though!

Anyway - I prefer spinning reels.

i like arbys roast beef and fries.but i can't throw it far.

I have seen damfisherman throw. That's not a challenge that I would take. IMHO

Is that 215 yd cast with the blue yonder reel? I've heard about

Yes it is.It's alot of fun to watch a reel do what it does.

What it run ya $175?

With all of the mods just over $400

i can drive a golf ball 300 yards so maybe i could get in on the castoff....if i can figure out how to connect my santee-cooper rig to a titlest!

Both Dustin and Jim can cast ridiculously great lengths. It would be a good competition.

A little old but some of this are still relevant.

fixed it for ya

heck, the bait launcher contraption is for me. i don't need to compete - fill it up to 90psi and let her rip! punch balloons are fun to get it out there too (300+ yards)

i'm in!

I like how this one casts.........

I can't cast a big spinning reel to save my life. So I like bait casters. I can cast smaller spinning gear well, but once I get into the 60 size, I just can't.

Spinning.......

Oh Wait....BAITCASTING......

this guys a 'Tard but check out the rod!

Dam u helping the baitcasters now?

I wonder how many that guy is gonna catch casting into a feild with no bait or hook..........

I can cast allway out to where the fish arent with either one.......

helping? no I dont think so... Just a CHEESY VID I thought I would share.

LOL......Cheesey?.........more like STOOPID.......fishing a feild......what.an idiot...........

hes trying to catch the land sharks!!

I got a few questions. Is she in a lake on that thing? Is this catfishing with a fly fishing rod? Is she single?
If shes in saltwater, imagine fishing on one of those and catching say a sword fish or a tarpan lol what a ride that'll be!

How do people get their reels to cast that far?

Now I prefer a good old home grilled Burger.

Mmmmmmmm arbys +1 bait cast

I love goat brain tacos..baaa baaaa baaaa...ha just thought I'd throw that out there lol.

a)That is the Pacific Ocean.
b)No. But channel cats are very fun on a fly rod. They hit flys on top of the water like crazy.
c)She is married.
d)No different than the ride you get from catching any big fighting fish in a kayak or a SUP either one. We don't call hooking up to a bull red in a kayak a Texas Sliegh ride for no reason.

Thanks for answering my questions. I guess ill have to get me a flyrod and go catch some channels now
