It is a serious boomer and casting the entire line beyond the rod tip is not difficult, at all.

I like the roll-casting and single pick-up/laydown idea and wonder if the rod really is best for that purpose. I have not fished it that way yet mostly because I cannot get it out of my wife's hand!
Yea, the single pick up and back - thats what I want for the big poppers - This may not be the rod for that. It's specs seem heavy, but no one complains about that.......
