Casting far from shore and the dynamics behind true long distance lures
There’s no magic, and what makes some lures reach farther distance than others is a mix between their conception, their balance, and also to a certain extent to the gear used to throw them into the surf with the goal of reaching that little bit further than others anglers around them.
