Hey stadle, you obviously never handled the newest shimanos. You should try the calais, or the chronarch. Those both cast miles. But one thing that you will want to remember is that casting is not always the reel its the rod and most important the line. The line is the most crucial part cause if you have coily line it creates more friction when cruising through the guides. When wanting to cast far I use Stren Magnathin or some sort of tuf line or spiderwire.
