so if a normal rod is about 9 ft. long... and it's 60 ft. long,

....a 200 ft. cast with a 9ft/ same as a 1333 ft. cast with a 60 ft rod.

That could cover ALOT of water!

sorry, was just bored :grin:

LOL, I've been there and seen that, the Christmas lights on it are a nice touch. I have a photo almost exactly the same as the one in that article looking up it.
