Can you cast this reel

The short answer is YES. YES you can cast this--if you are committed to practicing--this can be casted. I have debated this on fishing forums, and the responses are mixed. But the truth is, this has been casted for decades and remains a popular choice in certain situations (like Hawaii). You will have to practice, you need a long casting rod, and you will need to throw relatively heavy baits. You need to lay the line nicely, and use a heavy thumb or perhaps even add magnets to control spooling out (very easy to do). I cast this often. I throw out a shark bait and leave it, and do more normal fishing with other reels while I wait for a big bite. So in other words, I am not casting, casting, casting all day. I maybe cast it half a dozen times or less on a given outing. If you are looking to purchase something new for casting, there are much easier options. But if you are like me and enjoy vintage gear (I got mine used for $20 and it needed some parts), don't let people tell you not to pursue your interests. THIS IS A TOTALLY CASTABLE REEL. There are a lot of grumpy fisherman out there that want to feel like know-it-alls... When this reel is setup right, I can cast 5-10oz of bait & sinker on a 11' surf rod over 300 yards with this reel. I can't even get close to that with any other gear I currently own. This reel is a beast if you are motivated to practice with it. I thumb it the whole way, use 90lb braid, and I don't suffer thumb burn either. Good luck!
