Its for freshwater fishing spinning lures?
Need to find perfect specs for rod to cast 50-100yd.
1. What lure weight can fly that far?
2. What length of the rod, lure range and action?

Never fired lures with them but have slung some huge cut shad and 2-4 oz weight with Okuma longitudes, primarily 11-12'rs

That question would be better suited for the "Bank Fishing" section. Lot of tailrace guys in there that would be more helpful as to specifics. Am I still in the catfish section??? Google might be a better tool for this one.
Welcome to the forum btw. Yeah man, you ain't ever went after slimers with a Whopper Plopper???

7.0 foot Shakespeare Ugly Stik, Inshore rod, 1/8 to 1/2 oz. lure medium light 6-15# line. I don't know if you'll get that distance with a 7 foot rod, other than going with a 12 to 14 foot surf rod for some serious distance as you want.
Just one more cast!

A carp rod will do what you're asking. If you're really trying to hit the 100yd mark, you'll need at minimum a 10ft rod though a 12footer will do it easier. The make of reel will impact casting ability as will line selection.

The length of the rod makes a difference but proper technique plays an even bigger part. There are things that you can do with even just a 7-foot rod that can get you that kind of distance. If I need distance I let out the line until it is nearly touching the ground when the rod is almost straight up. I swing the weight back and then when it is almost parallel to the ground stick straight out behind me I bring it on. As the line goes over my head the 7 foot of rod and 7 foot or more of the line gives me the effect of a LOOOONG rod and really sends it out. I was raised near the coast and perfected this so that I could cast out past the second sandbar and gut during the cold months fishing for redfish. I live on Livingston now and can throw a long way for catfishing using that technique standing on the bow platform of my boat.
You know that old saying "Some people march to the beat of a different drummer."? I don't listen to a drum at all and have meandered through life instead of marching.
