Lots of options, but may depend on how far you can cast certain weights of artificial baits.Quote:

What size line do you use, and which model Zebco reel ?

They cost alittle more but they are FANTASTIC! I use 20lb Nanofil on one and 20lb Seaguar Tourney Braid on the other.
I can cast farther than most everyone and the Bullet has baitcaster properties.

i got bout 6 dif zebcos usually 33s all from diff years prob only gets me 20 yards if that with usually 10 pound line
ahh i just read about the bullet is it really worth the extra 70 bucks or so that it cost? tbh i cant see myself paying 100 bucks for just a reel. if i was apro fisherman and was able to do it all the time then i might but i maybe get t go once month or so. hoping to be able to get at least 30 yards from bank if possible i would switch to spinning reels but idk how to spool them.
and i bought one years back and it got all tangled up inside somehow i can cats them but sometimes they mess up on me bad and not sure how to fix them im very add lol so thats why i just stick to spincast reels maybe eventually ill get the hang of spinning reels
Open face spinning reel, 1/16th lime roadrunner, two inch stinger lure with chartreuse or pink in it.

You might want to downsize your line to say 8# test or even 6# test to get that extra distance. The length and action of the rods you are using can also be a factor in casting distance. A fast action tip on a 6-7' medium action rod would likely help, too.Quote:
