Are there any tackle that I can buy to help surf casting further?

Answer 1

My standard surf rods are 12 to 15 footers spooled with 12lb test and I use a surf casting sinker on my rig.
2 rigs I use are the standard 3 way rig and pyramid sinker or I rig from main line to a barrel swivel then from swivel I use a to 4 to 6 foot leader(depends on length of loop) with a 4" to 16" loop knot tied about middle ways of leader then tag end tied to a surf casting sinker(the ones with wire on them to allow them to grab in sand) I then pinch the end of loop together and put through eye of hook running loop over hook and pulling back against eye(no knot)!My leader will be from 8lb to heavy as needed!
With this rig I can cast over 100 yards if needed!

Answer 2

Buy a three way swivel with a sinker snap. The reel line goes in one opening, the hook in the other, then the sinker, pyramid style if surf fishing, onto the snap. The Swivel prevents the line from twisting. If the line starts to twist, it will weaken and chances are you will lost a big fish because the twisted line broke.

Answer 3

Heavier rod, lighter line, heavier lure (or add sinkers like the above 3-way swivel suggestion , or just sinkers a foot or 2 up the line. Use the wind, or you can take it out in a boat, drop it in deep water, then go back to shore and wait for a bite. maybe waders would get you out further.

Answer 4

You can get a longer or heavier rod.

If you do not want to do that then you can use a heavier lure or add sinkers.

Answer 5

Parker,
Try fishing with a 3oz egg sinker with your line right through it then attach your leader and hook....you minimize wind resistance and it FLIES...!!!!! good luck
