Hi Sports Casters,
For distance/sports casting, I use the following:
I use only Abu 5500 multiplier reels.
I don’t like using brake blocks,all my reels are magnetic braking.
I use “Chris Macey” knobby magnetic brakes system exclusively and rarely use the slidy (Abu Mag Elite).
Just curious…what do you guys out there use??

hi, Aznaff,
Is it true the casting reel cast the rig further than spinning one?
I do casting but only for fresh water, am thinking into Surf Cast at sea. I am used to spinning when Surf Casting but would like to know your opinion if casting reel cast further? thanks
Hi Pocketfreak,
Yes, it is a proven fact that the multiplier reel can cast further than the spinning reel especially on the casting field.
That is why in distance casting tourny, the majority of the casters use multiplier reels, even down here in Malaysia and Singapore.
But of course the choice of multiplier reels to maximize distance in a surf fishing scenario would make a diiference. I prefer using Abu 6500 (open cage) reels for clean beach and thinner lines (0.35mm)and the Daiwa Slosh 20 or 30 for rough ground and thicker lines (0.40/0.45mm).
Wish you luck in your venture using multiplier reels for surf fishing ya. Anyway how’s the ISO fishing going on for you here?
