Or in other words, I would like to improve my presentations with less drag, become more adept at using other casts to expand the types of water I can fish and have a better shot at more fish, and expand my understanding of casting. Improved distance would be great, but for what I fish for, I can already comfortably cast up to 50-60 feet, which is more than enough. But I think it is good to know how to cast a long ways anyway, and at the drop of a hat. You never know when you might get a chance to go saltwater fishing, or may have a situation where you just might need to quickly shoot a long cast out. But, in general and for right now, improving my distance is probably not as important as improving my presentation and understanding of casting and mending.
