I was casting my abu garcia back max baitcaster combo in the drive way and I measured 15 yds distance is that good and if not how far can they go up too and by the way I was using mono only

Man. I can only go like 7 us distance.

Huh?

I meant 15 yds distance that was a typo .

45 feet is not very far. That is only two 20' bass boats end to end counting the engines.
I have seen Hackney pitch underhand 45 feet.

Good distance would be around 30yds. If this is the rod you just got from your thread last week, the probably want to loosen the knob that was missing from the other reel, if that makes sense. That knob is your casting drag. In theory, you want to loosen that knob enough that your bait has a steady fall when just you press the release without casting.

I can't seem to make any of that make sense, but search YouTube for "casting drag tension" and see if there is a video that will make more sense. Part of me is afraid to search YouTube for "casting drag".

Yes it is the same one and as I get better I'll loosen the tension knob and back off the brakes but thank for the tips y'all

7.5 ft rod and a 3/4 Oz football jig will get out there. Maybe 50 yards or so. Let the rod do the work. For best results, keep your weight in the upper end of the weight the rod is designed for.

try throwing something light like a yellow magic with your bait caster. you will need some distance to stay away from the fish. My best old Chronach will send it out about 75-100 feet
on 12 # mono.

Don't do it, it's a trap

Not after looking up Montana Musket Loader..

Yep...loosen up all those brakes and throw as hard as you can (not really. Don’t do that). Match the rod to the reel and the bait, and practice as you make minor changes to the brakes.

thats probably about what you should expect from that reel

I can get out there 30-40 yards with most setups

I agree. That's about what you can expect out of a Black Max. Upgrade to better reels and you will get more distance.

I think you can get a lot more out of it. The cheap H2o mettle reel can out cast many, if not most other reels. You can tune that reel up. Make sure you have the spool full. It is very important for distance. Practice holding the reel sideways while the bait is in the air. It will feed better through the eye of the reel. When you get the feel of the bait, and each bait will feel different, start loosening the brake and the magnets. If you whip the rod too hard, the acceleration will be at the beginning of the cast and overrun will happen as soon as the bait starts to slow down. If you cast too high, the bait will stop pulling line out and overrun will be at the end of the cast. When you get the feel for it, it will be natural and you won't even think about it. A good cast will have plenty of rod whip, and the rod will also have a full travel from behind you to in front of you. The whipping motion should not happen before the rod is past your body. It is a lot like a golf swing or a baseball bat swing. Lots of physics in play. It makes sense in my head, not sure if I typed it out well.

BS !! That combo isn't very good quality but anyone with bait casting skills can throw a bait out there twice that easily. I was a the Haslet Walmart 3 month ago and the guy running the fishing area told me to check out Black Max combos they had on sale for $10. Not Sheet I kid you not. I bought 2 of them another guy bought 4. I saw my son in law later that day and told him, he went straight there and the WM guy said a guy came in and bought all 10 they had left. I gave my nephew one and my Son In Law the other. Fish with both of them and they both have said they aren't too bad and they both have a couple of nice quality rigs as well.
