Avid Carp Fishing TV! | 200 Yard Cast With An Amplify Rod! | Product Focus 

That would compromise the distance no end, it’d be in the realms of 160/170

@@tomforrester2616 exactly but that would still be very impressive cast to show what the rod can do with that set-up 👍

@@tomforrester2616 i bet more like 140-150

Get tapered line 😂

​@@tomforrester2616 what size lead would you suggest to get full compression of the 13ft rods please?

Thanks James!

Thank you!

Hi Lew , Fully appreciate all of these points. This is just to show the rods capabilities , it hits the clip hard and would’ve gone further . Myself and a number of guys included have cast them over 200 using casting lines over grass but it doesn’t make for very exciting viewing imo. Tight lines

I have known Tom personally for a number of years and can safely say he can chuck over 200 yards be it on water, grass or the m5. It’s not just the distance he is shockingly accurate aswell and I speak from experience 👍🏼.

@@jamesgibbons901 I am not saying he can or carnt, I am saying all these companies and well known anglers are putting 50 wrap (200 yards) videos on social media when I have never seen it or anyone I no in the casting game have seen 50 wraps come close to 200 yards. I know anglers can relate to wraps more than going off an measured distance so maybe it gets a better response from the public, who knows

Food for thought Lewis ! But you will never wrap sticks as tight as the length of the real distance as you will always have slack line so in theory Tom would be doing slightly more that 50 wraps if you take into account the extra line.. slack thats caused

@@CHUNKSTVI no what you mean and in theory a few inch of slack in every wrap can add up but a good way to show how much slack there will be from the bow of line in the air is to go on a field and wrap up and clip it up at what ever wraps you can hit, then while leaving it the clip start to wind the slack line in until you get a taught line to the lead you would be amazed on how much you can wind, to get close to the wrap distances the line would have be tight all way along the floor from the lead to line clip. Further you go more bow in the air there will be. Even on calm days or with the wind the line follows a rough trajectory of the lead.

/////GOOD QUESTION////......

It's all down to the angler behind the rod, with the Midi X Spombs there is no reason you won't be able to fish 40 to 45 wraps with good technique.

@@AvidCarpFishingTV Thanks for taking the time to reply... appreciate your thoughts

There is a lot of good rods on the market these days for casting. However, £149.99/£159.99 the Amplify rods offer exceptional value for money when compared to the 'top end' rods you are referring too. Distance doesn't have to break the bank.

@@AvidCarpFishingTV if you look about you can get second hand for. that price for better rods. Good skills. Ino what I would do

Just as all distance casting is done 👍

You want the fella to chuck 200 yards into a headwind?. Cut him some slack.
