Went to Bethells awhile back and caught uo with some of the best casters in NZ, one of the guys cast a NZ Postal casting  record(NZ record) of 243 meters- pretty amazing to see- caught on video as well.

Some of my reels don't even hold that much line....

When the National fishing championships are held distance casting is part of the completion. Seeing distances like this cast is out there. If the nationals are in your area go along, support and enjoy. Believe some guys only distance cast as there sport, they don't fish?
Those that say it can't be done are being overtaken by those doing it.

Nah we all fish as well.
