First drum ever! Woohoo! Not a monster, but man did he fight. Conditions were really nice, 10mph wind and flat water. Crab wasn't working so I decided to put shrimp on my line because that's what everyone else was catching them on and boom! Happy Easter everyone, Jesus Christ has risen!

      @j_reyes how do you cast? Do you just put the weight on the ground behind you and chuck it?

      Also, since your gonna use a heavier surf weight, try doubling up your line about 10-15' as a shock leader. Helps to not break the line with all that weight

      I used to have a 9' FTU Hvy action & threw an 8oz surf weight plus bait. That rod can take it. Once you get it balanced out, you'll be able to get more ...more distance.

      on and it depends on how you have it spooled too
    19. j_reyes 0
      oh it all depends I throw 5oz on my sx on my mxl I throw anywhere from 6-8oz.

      I already use 5 oz plus a large bait. How heavy should I make my sinker?
    22. j_reyes 0
      use a heavier weight to get a better cast

      need to make it between the guts. 40 yards is about a cast standing on the first bar going into the second gut.
    31. Jacob Breaux 0
      Don't get discouraged by other people saying they cast 100+ yards. I think a lot of them are just bs'ing up a number. Lol. You only need to be able to cast ...more as far as you need to. In the surf, just

      Thanks! I measured my casts the other day and I got 40 yards out of it. I think I just need to practice some more. @bassinboy01
